Tap. Black color with beige head. Aroma is roasty, chocolate, a bit wood and tobacco. Taste is chocolate, roast, black bread, dash of wood. Velvety mouthfeel, fine-bubbled carbonation. Solid Imperial Stout, not even that strong of a barrel there, it's well-integrated.

At Borefts 2023. Well I am guessing it's this beer. Black beer lasting tan head. Some whisky character. Some good chocolate. It's had a uwar to settle down and its pretty good fun. I rather liked it Some heat on finish. Good smooth imperial stout. Still a bit soy sauce.

22/IX/23 - on tap @ Borefts Beer Festival Day 1, BB: n/a (2023-582) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!

Cloudy dark brown to black beer, small beige head, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: quite some alcohol up front, very malty, sweet grains, caramel, chocolate, a touch of vanilla, nice. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: malty start, grains, good roast, a bit sweet, caramel, lots of chocolate, more roast, cocoa powder, a bit sourish. Aftertaste: alcohol, oxidative notes, sourish touch, very bitter, good deep roast, alcoholic finish.

deep dark brown colour, medium sized creamy brown head which lasts for quite a few minutes; aroma of chocolate mousse, chocolate liquor, prune and dried sour cherry soaked into alcohol, licorice and some whisky notes; taste has the same notes with intensive burnt (nutty-like) and heavy-roasted coffee-like bitterness; great one, though this burnt bitterness ruins a bit the harmony

Tap at De Molen with Laura. Opaque black color, decent to medium sized beige head. Long lasting, superbly creamy head. Love it. Aroma and flavor are malts, roasted malts, liquor, malt bitterness mostly, lingering dark malt bitterness. Thick mouthfeel coating your mouth on the inside, amazing. Smooth texture, suitable carbonation. Quite lovely.
