Pours as motor oil, and looks like motor oil with a greige head, gone fast. Chocolate, tobacco & ashes, dark green hard leaves. Chocolate, coffee, tobacco, mineral, and yet sweet-malty. Dried fruit, as peppery and liqueurfilled dates. Dark and melanoidin-filled. Super-bodied, hardly fluid, bit syrupy, chewy. Aftertaste gives a new super-heated punch. Excellent! 7/4/9/4/16

Spanish imperial stout made with actual bananas from the Canary Islands, from a stubby 25 cl bottle. Tightly papery lacing, medium thick, pale greyish beige, moussy head with slowly opening middle over a black beer with hazy mahogany edges. Aroma of a lot of damp earth and tree leaves, soggy tea bags, beef stock, moist chocolate bars, coffee grounds, elderberries, bayleaf, chicory, rum, clay, toffee but hardly any actual banana… Sweetish onset, blackberry jam and dried date notes, pear hint, light underlying sourishness as well as quite thick, gravy-like umami; softish carb, thick and supple, greasy mouthfeel. ‘Fat’ and slick black chocolatey maltiness, toasted walnut- and butterscotch-like as well with a thin, ‘bloody’ iron-like edge; coffeeish roasted bitterness in a gentle way, lingering chocolatey and toffeeish malt sweetness, late spicy hop note and warming, rum-like alcohol, but as in the nose, I am unable to detect any convincing banana flavour. A bit too umami-ish to be truly great, but otherwise well-made and full; I was, however, hoping for more actual banana, without it turning into a banana candy-like caricature as I have found in other, less ‘serious’ banana beers – yet there is no trace of the typical banana aroma to be found here, so in that sense it doesn’t quite deliver what it promises. Still, this series seems to contain some interesting experiments in flavour so I see no reason why I wouldn’t have a go at some of the other Virgens.

Botella 25 cl de Vivalabirra tomada en Oviedo 09..03..2018. (r04). Sin lote. Fcpref 15..09..2018. Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro persistente. Sabores maltosos tostados ligeramente dulces afrutados con buenos toques de cacaos vainillas y suaves tostados. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio. Fino y denso y con suave amargo final. La verdad es que el platano no se deja notar mucho, solo una ligera sensación. Bastante buena para repetir.
