The Tsar of stouts (without the beard). A true Imperial Stout, this beer is as black as coal. Velvety smooth with notes of coffee, chocolate and dark fruit. Hops are added at numerous points to the beer during its production with a twelve week maturation.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 15B). Bottle 33 cl - Batch unknown (BBF 15.10.17). AROMA: medium roasted aroma with coffee and chocolate notes. slight nutiness and fruitiness (dried grapes) with a slight sweetness. APPEARANCE: dark brown to black color with ruby highlights. Medium moussy light brown head with good retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium roasted notes (coffee and slight dark chocolate). medium bitterness with an almost dry and roasted/bitter finish. PALATE: medium-light body with medium-low carbonation. no astringency. OVERALL: a good stout but NOT imperial (and with a bit more alcohol for the irish stout style).

Negra opaca, con un par de dedos de espuma, poco densa y color ocre. Aroma fuerte, madera ,chocolate. Toda una experiencia en boca. Textura cremosa y baja carbonatacion. Muy potente. Primero dulce y ligeramente frutal. Dura poco. Pronto la boca se llena de barrica, cacao, en un amargor creciente y muy muy intenso junto con claros recuerdos de whisky. Final ultra amargo. Y calenton de licor. Compleja. Fuerte. Diferente. Potente. Intensa.

Appearance is black, a one finger light brown head which settles down. Aroma- very chocolatey and milky, dark malt, fudge, caramel. Taste- big bitterness, roasty malts, coffee, chocolate, hint of leather, medium to full mouthfeel, quite a long and bitter finish, solid malt backbone. Good, maybe more stout and less imperial.

330 ml bottle 7% ABV version @ Melkebaren. Dark brown body with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted dark malt and coffee. Flavor is roasted dark malt, coffee, dark chocolate, medium bitter and rather dry. Nice and balanced body with a decent aftertaste. Not very complex, but solid work, pretty balanced where no particular flavor dominates. Enjoable.
