At a tasting, small stable bubbly jead, very dark brown color, aroma of chocolate, nuts and minerals with some vanila in the back, flavor of chocolate and rum with that vanila coming through in time. Nice and enjoyable but not overly complex with just a little to much vanila.

getrunken im Frühling 2018
Wenn der Mondschein am Wasser schimmert, dann ist die Zeit für die Königin der Biere gekommen. Tauche ein in ein Meer aus malzigen Röstaromen und entdecke den Körper aus Edelbitterschokolade und Lakritzaromatik, die vom dunklen Muscovadozucker aus Mauritius kommt. Die Nacht ist noch jung, also ist noch genug Zeit um die abrundende Bourbon-Vanille lange zu genießen, schreibt die homepage. Gebraut wird mit Wiener, Haferflocken, Karamell, Melanoidin, Röstmalz, Röstgerste sowie den Hopfensorten Admiral und East Kent Golding. Es entsteht ein Bier, bei dem man einmal Pause machen muss nach dem ersten Schluck. Es ist eine richtige Alkohol und Aromenbombe. Wobei der Alkohol nicht nur den Kopfwehzustand am nächsten Morgen, sondern auch die Aromenvielfalt, trübt. Meiner Meinung ein eigentlich gutes Bier, bei dem man es übertrieben hat. Vom Aromahopfen merke ich leider gar nix.

330 ml bottle from Beer Store Vienna, bb 01.03.2018
Dark brown to black body, with a small, creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of dried fruits, dark berries, vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, some wood, subtle liquorice.
Tastes quite similar, but less sweet, with more cocoa, coffee, tobacco.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes medium roasty, medium dry, a bit warming, wooden, with liquorice, coffee, chocolate, dark fruits.

Very nice. A quite unique style example, more on the sweet side, especially in the nose. Taste has more roasty and dry notes and is really diverse, with fruits, sweet notes and the typical roasty notes of this style, which come through more and more as the beer warms up. Overall among the best Imperial Stouts from Austria, while still not my favourite one.
