375ml bottle from MBC. Poured pitch black in color with a tan head. Lovely aroma of sweet licorice candy, some coffee and chocolate notes. Full bodied, smooth chocolate notes, mild coffee and that licorice again. Sweet finish, hint of ash in there later on. Very pleasant stout.

On tap at Mikkeller Bar Madrid. Shiny jet black pour with a huge, long-lasting, mostly lacing beige head. Aroma is the usual suspects for the style: cocoa, licorice, espresso, smoke. Dense, slick, velvety, low carb. Balanced, with a powerfully bitter and long-lingering finish. Sip it calmly and mindfully.

Butelka 375ml (BB 12.11.2024). Czarne, nieprzejrzyste z ładnie krążkującą, beżową pianą. W aromacie paloność, kawa, trochę zboża i sporo alkoholu. W smaku półsłodkie, palone, kawowe z delikatnym, ale akceptowalnym, lekko rozgrzewającym alkoholem, dużo słabiej zaakcentowanym niż w aromacie. Pełne, złożone, przyjemnie się pije.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home before leaving for Europe. Very nice looking pour - pitch black opaque with huge puffy light tan head that descends into frog eyed bubbliness with sticky tan lacing. Aroma is big black chocolatey roasted malts with alcohol. Sounds like a straightforward imperial stout but very well executed. Some leather and wood too, a bit of dark fruit. Taste is rich and chewy boozy chocolate, with leatheriness again, and a subtle sweetness that doesn’t approach cloying at all, like some other Mikkeller stouts. Thick but not too heavy. Lasting warmth and bitterness. Very very very good.

Tap. Malty aroma and taste, dark chocolate, coffee, light roastyness, vanilla notes, light sweet, medium bitter. Full body, smooth texture, malty bitter sweet finish with notes of coffee pralines. Good.

On tap at Mikkeller Taipei, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is intense, with charcoal-like roasted malt, earthy notes, intense hops, and burnt espresso. Flavour is bold, with a huge pummelling of roasted malt, lightly sweet cocoa, and a big wallop of hops to balance. Bordering on black IPA-level hops. This is an big n bold beauty. Lovely.

A very surprising locate in Palm Springs in March of this year. Not exactly the best time (100 deg F) to try but what the hell. Use it or lose it. I’m going with a snifter on this because the beer before required it, can’t hurt with an imperial stout. Best before 8/1/20 the cap informs. Black as a politician’s heart, a general tan head before it recedes. Very strong activity from the bottom. Decent intro with the scent, charcoal, grain and dark berry. A taste, definitely a step up. Bakers chocolate, raspberry, ash and the barest of caramel sweetness. Nice.
