Ein nicht alltägliches Bier, tiefschwarz, obergärig mit sehr hohem Alkoholgehalt (9,5 %). Dieses edle, schwarze Bier wurde früher von den englischen Brauern als Hofbier für die russische Zarin Katharina II geliefert. Diese außergewöhnliche Bierspezialität wird sehr aufwändig mit 6 verschiedenen Malz- und 3 Hopfensorten eingebraut. Die Reifezeit beträgt mehrere Monate. Ein wahres Geschmacksfeuerwerk wird dominiert von intensiven Kaffee- und Schokoladennoten. Passt wunderbar zu Tiramisu, Mousse au chocolat oder gereiftem Käse.

0,33 L bottle, consumed from the bottle on the train. Harsh coffee aroma, with some bitter pecans, brown sugar, light sea salt, and chicory. Fairly dry, with a sharp bitterness. Heavy body, with a grainy, syrupy mouthfeel. This is a fun, complex, and aggressive.

Bottle [from Euro Swap no doubt, I think thanks to Herrklemann] @ home shared with Inoven. Opaque black color, decent sized beige to light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, roasted malts, dark raisins. Taste malts, moderately roasty, sweet-bitter dark fruits, dark coffee and dark chocolate notes in the background. Hmm interesting combination of flavors. Think there's room for improvement here but definitely interesting and it sets them apart from others. Nice!

330mL bottle, pours black with a large light brown head. Nose brings out medium roasted malt, a touch of light cocoa, and maybe a tinier hint of coffee. Flavour follows accordingly, with a very nice medium intensity roasted malt character. There isn't much else to speak - it's just a very competently done, by the books, moderately robust imperial stout. Oily palate, with everything in balance. Great stuff.

Flesje gedeeld door Benzai. Aroma is koffieachtig. Smaak van koffie en kruiden. Nasmaak is na korte tijd iets fruitig.

Many thanks to Werckmeister for this bottle! Sweetish grainy nose. The beer starts malty with grainy hints. Deep and thick, roast and caramel with a dry burned sweetness. Long intense aftertaste, roast with a somehow unround sourness in the back, intense dry, burned rubber with bitter sweet grain. Interesting.

Bottle, many thanks herrklemann for this long time want! Pitch black color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, earthy, roasted malts, some dark fruits and coffee. Taste is roasted malts, earthy, dark chocolate, a touch fruits again. Silky mouthfeel with low carbonation. Excellent and well-balanced classic ImpStout. I had high expectations for this one, and they were not disappointed - beautiful!

Bottle thnx to stefan ! Pours black, ok, light brown head that seems very stable. Smell is oaty, black malts. Taste is very full, creamy, mildly to the sweet side. Oat, some coffee. Intensity in here is where it should be, as is the body and carbo. Very nice, creamy rich imp stout. Not in the same league as the real top-of-the-world examples, but as a local, this sure is a nice one !
