You are holding a pure artisan craft ale, free of any additives. This is a real ale. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, so a small amount of sediment in the bottom of the bottle is natural. South Plains RIP is made with North American hops to balance the huge amounts of English malts that give this dark ale it’s complex and generous flavor. Imperial Porter is a style that is higher in alcohol, bearing more flavor than traditional porters. Store this beer in a cool, dark place. When it’s young it’s very heartwarming. As it ages it will get smoother and smoother.

Gushy bastard! Opaque dark brown beer,.small pale tan head. Palate is airy and light with fine carbonation. The dark malt is rich but never too roasty or bitter. Little coffee and a light tang. Whisper of dark fruits. More coffee before an airy finish. All right.

Bottle bought through Systembolaget. Explosive gusher! Pours viscous pitch black with a huge frothy blackish beige head that slowly dissipates while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is tiny sour and malty with roasted malts, lemon juice, hay, moist soil, old coffee grounds, outdated bitter chocolate, cardboard and burnt wood. Taste is sweet, bitter, sour and malty with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, lemon juice, hay, cardboard, burnt wood, bitter chocolate and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is dry, tiny tart, soft and medium to full bodied. Finish is bitter and tiny sour with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate, burnt wood and hints of lemon juice. Lingering infection...

Malziger, leicht säuerlicher Antrunk. Geringe Schokoladigkeit, die Malzigkeit bleibt. Wenig intensiv, eindimensional. Etwas fruchtig werdend. 8/9/10/10/8/9

Bottled 330ml @Grace
Bottle was a gusher. Pitch black color, decent beige head. Medium-bodied. Slightly tart, dry woody, lots of coffee beans in the flavor. Roasted aftertaste with some alcohol. Way too dry and woody.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2013) Opaque black colour with creamy, brown head. Roasted, malty nose with strong black coffee, liquorice, cocoa and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of espresso, liquorice, salmiac, cocoa and a creamy finish with a generous cocoa bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Very well balanced for its strength. Very nice beer.

Bottled (thanks omhper). Turned out to be a bigtime gusher. Pitch black colour with a mediumsized brown head. Aroma is ashes, ripe dark fruits, some slight tart wooden notes. Flavour is mild tart wood, dark fruits, nuts and some herbal notes. Wellbalanced as such, but spritzy carbonation. Also has some mild toasted and liquoricelike not-too-sweet notes in the finish.

Bottle shared with (and courtesy of) the brewers of B�din. Has a black colour with a small, light brown head. Nice roasted aroma with nuts, brownies and dark chocolate. More roasted malt in the flavour along with some wood. Strange in a way. Has a rich mouth feel, and a light to medium bitterness. A nice roasted ale but is a bit weird and unbalanced in my opinion.
