Can 50 cl. Dark brown, coffee foam. Aroma: sweet, caramel, a little burnt, black bread, a little prune and burnt sugar. Taste: caramel, sweet, alcohol adds bitterness and warmth, bread again, so-so.

Algo aquosa e doce para o meu gosto. Pelo preço não é uma má escolha. Sabor a malte torrado

An imperial stout in a supermarket? what a time to be alive ! Granted, it's a supermarketbrand, and not just any - lidl (in my opinion the worst beerselection of the supermarkets) but hey, it's a start ! Their IPA was actually OK-ish (better than the German Red) , both being above expectations for what it is. This one, I feared a bit more, doubting to even buy it. Buy hey, just for the fun of it, let's try and see. Pours quite near to black, although the foam is only mildly tanned offwhite, and fairly fast fading. Scent is very weak. Some roasted malts, some coffee, but nowhere near the intensity it should be . On the plus side, there's no straight up flaws at first glance, and being only 7.5, this is definately pushing the (bottom) limit of what IS imperial stout, so let's give it some slack on the intensity. Taste is similar, nothing off, to my pleasant surprise, and not too sweet. Fairly in style. Only, quite damn silent. Barely drinking anything more intense than your average, industrial lager. It has notes of roast, coffee, a tad burnt (again, FAR less than feared/expected), even notes of dark chocolate. But they're all to be found like I'm a damn detective rather than a random guy with a beer in front of the TV. Mouthfeel is thin - for the style (bit thicker than a lager, but thats the direction it goes) . Medium bitterness, medium low sweetness. Bottom line, expectations far exceeded, and not a bad beer at this ABV (though even for this, it should be far more intense) - but an imperial stout at 7.5 is pushing it, if you THAN deliver a weak beer for said 7.5, what you have left is... A roasty lager-replacer competing in what your marketing has decided is the correct category - the likes of all the great Imperial Stouts we know and love. I think it would benefit from amping up the intensity, possibly if needed the ABV as well, or lowering the ABV whilst maintaining the intensity, and just calling it 'stout' (non imperial). As it is now, the beer falls between everything it could benefit from. Finally, I do want to express the respect that an underdog like Lidl took to release this - hopefully this can be the start of several other, more 'craft' inspired beers, perhaps even working towards even better quality.
gave a cheers!

Can shared at home. Pretty poor imperial stout in every sense. It’s drinkable, but that’s the most that can be said about it.

Lattina. Un territorio olfattivo dominato dal caffè e dal cioccolato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, cioccolato, caffè, nocciole tostate, frutta secca e agrumi.

Can from a local Lidl. Aroma is roasted malts with sugary caramel, notes of chocolate and toffee, hint of liquorice. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a mild roasty bitterness. Body is medium. Not bad, drinkable if you ignore the Imperial title.
