22/1/2024. Can from Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours very dark mahogany brown with a frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma is sweet brown sugars, roasted malt, caramel, dark fruits, cheap rum and raisin. Very sweet with moderate bitterness. Medium body, smooth, average carbonation. Too sweet.

Merci à Graham pour cette découverte. Je me demande pourquoi ils se sont mis à 3 pour brasser cet Ukrainian Imperial Stout qui n'est à vrai dire, pas réellement bonne avec des arômes torréfiés qui ne s'imposent pas réellement. Sont-ce les graines de tournesol qui donnent ce résultat, peut être. Le visuel est sur un noir total avec une belle mousse brune et crémeuse de 1 cm. Au nez, ce ne sont pas les arômes torréfiés qui l'emportent mais l'amertume simple (Styrian wolf comme houblon) et l'alcool, brut. On retrouve tout de même des arômes de noisette et un léger cacao. En bouche, ce ne sont pas les arômes torréfiés qui l'emportent également avec de surcroît un alcool trop présent voire brutal. La sucrosité est pour sa part trop poussée avec in fine trop de déséquilibres. Pas terrible.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - mat black with a thin off-white head. Nose - lightly rum and brown sugar with something a bit like glue. Taste - boozy raisins, in fact rum and raisin. Ginger bread. Palate - medium to full bodied, sweet and very boozy. Overall - enjoyable if a bit unbalanced.
