Very deep brown with a small head that really didn’t wanna form. Notes of bittersweet dark chocolate, roasted malts, slight fruit, a touch floral, burnt malts, coffee grounds. Medium to full body. Dry, bitter finish. Exceeded expectations.
Quite roasty and bitter, some muddled dark chocolate and coffee notes. Thin mouthfeel for an imperial stout, and very low carbonation. Honestly underwhelming.

Servida en snifter. Color marrón muy oscuro, practicamente negro, opaco. Al servir forma una bonita y espesa corona de espuma beige oscuro que se disipa rápido, pero que en parte se recupera al agitar la copa durante la cata. Aroma torrefacto a malta tostada, cacao puro en polvo, chocolate negro, pan tostado, café, licor, cigarro puro, madera, ceniza, humo...En boca es densa, sedosa, oleosa, dulzor y amargor medio-alto, es profunda y potente sin ser agresiva, redonda, en boca expresa perfectamente todas sus notas aromáticas, final largo amargo y licoroso, con un ligero punto dulce. Una gran cerveza, muy buena

Flaska från Barcelona, tack David! Svart med moccafärgad krona som lägger sig. Old school, kärv och hårt rostad imperial stout med toner av kaffe, mörk choklad, kakao, toffee och lakritsrot med fin balans mellan sötma/rostade inslag/beska. Något större kropp med mjuk och fin munkänsla. Påminner mycket om Yeti, om än något mer balanserad och åt det sötare hållet. Gott!

The Aromas are lots of roast and dry grain with some molasses and black patent, hints of cocoa and coffee. Flavors are very much like nose, sweet up front with a little bitter in the back. Good carbonation body and finish. Just a little alcohol warmth at the very end. Fairly decent beer for the power.

Draught @ SOPP 2018. Smooth, roasty and slightly burnt with some earthiness, coffee, chocolate and rye. Okay.

(Keg at SOPP Helsinki 2018) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, liquorice and dark chocolate. Palate was full bodied and mildly warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, dark chocolate, cocoa, sweetness, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, burnt and bitter. A well done burnt brew with plenty of flavours.
