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.

Bottle 330ml, BB 16.02.15. Pours pitch black with tan head. The head stays for some time. Aroma roasted malt, dark chocolate, slight tartness. Flavor: creamy, nice roast, dark chocolate, licorice, some sweetness in the background. Long finish starts more as dark chocolate which transforms to ash. Alcohol is slightly noticeable, but maybe it would be really better with even higher ABV. Overall: good one. I really like the finish and the creamy feeling. Update: had another bottle and didn’t enjoy it as much as last time. Still ok, but as far as imperial stouts go, it’s not really great.

Botella de 33 cl. En casa 21-12-13 Sabores a tostados y bastante quemados algo especiados con algo de café y cacao también. Cuerpo medio con espuma algo oscura persistente. Aromas tostados y maltosos muy especiados. No está mal, tal vez demasiado especiada. Segunda vez suene la tomo y no se sí habrá una tercera.

Craft Clerkenwell. Martin T tasting. Almost opaque dark brown beer. Little pale tan head. Palate is light and minerally and a little crisp. Mild fresh dark malt. Whisper of malt cream. Minerally finish. Simple stuff but okay.

Bottle, 7%. Roasted, salty, creamy aroma, hint of smoke. Black colour. Good stable light brown head. The flavour is creamy and nicely roasted. Has a little salt liquorice and a hint of smoke in the finish. Good mouthfeel.

Dobry ale nie rewelacyjny w porownaniu do innych imperialnych stoutow. Charakterystyczna goryczka i palony slod. Troche delikatny podobny do guinnessa tyle ze z o wiele wieksza piana. trwala i czapowata po mojemu. Intensywnie geste i czarne tak jak guinnessy, ale delikatne jak na ten wymagajacy gatunek
