BORIS #100 was made with the finest English Pale Ale malt instead of our usual American malt, to celebrate brewing the 100th. batch of BORIS The Crusher Oatmeal-Imperial Stout. This adds a slightly sweeter and truly traditional flavor for this truly bodacious English-style Imperial Stout, our flagship beer! Made in extremely limited quantites.

Big bottle at OleRs great garden session, shared with fellow ratebeerians. Oily pour, filmy patches at the surface. The body is black as pitch. Dark malty nose added by a touch of basement and ripe fruits. Vanilla oak and earthy malts in flavour, bourbon, cocoa and oat, as well. Rounded aftertaste with bittersweet roastiness. Very pleasing (Stovner, 25.05.2012).

Barely any head; what’s there is brown. Opaque black body. Earthy chocolatey aroma with soy sauce notes. Dry-sweet earthy roasty linoleum taste with alcohol notes. Fullish body. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish soy sauce and chocolate aftertaste with burnt earthy vanilla fudge notes. Really nice and harmonic. (0.65l bottle shared by Ole_R.)
