batch2, 2021 version. "Imperial Stout" Tasted oct 11, 2025
dkk 540 in kihoskh.
initial aroma of dark caramel, then after that, coconut and dark chocolate, dark tofffe, chocolate dessert. a bit too much dark caramel and chocolate dessert for my preferences.
pours thick and black, settles with a dark brown head that soon fizzles out.
flavor is quite sweet, vanilla, toblerone chocolate bar, lingering dark caramelly flavor in the background, as well as barrel notes, bourbon, slightly smoked notes. i think the vanilla and the coconut sort of drowns out the roasted malts and the notes from the wood, making the beer just overly sweet and a bit unbalanced. also the dark caramelly note doesn't really fit well in - i would have preferred a roasted malty note instead.
very sweet one. complex if you take away a few layers.

Bottle shared in London. Big thanks to Dan! Pours black-brown with a small, bubbly brown head. Medium to big sweet flavour, fair bit of booze, gooey chocolate, coconut, coffee, roast, earth. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Hot finish, lots of oily chocolate, light bourbon, brown sugar, roast, earth. Decadent, tasty.
