Can. A lovely classic imperial stout that is superbly drinkable, hides the abv very well. Lots of chocolate, medium bitterness, light coffee notes, lots of brown sugar, caramel, fudge, molasses. Prunes, some cacao, but darker malt notes are dominant. Nice classic interpretation of the style.

Röstig-herber, trocken malziger Start. Der Körper ist schwacher als gedacht, eine zumindest leichte Süße würde helfen. Herber Mittelteil, wenig Kakao, weich. Mittellanger Abgang. 10/9/10/9/12/9

Rated at Frisches Bier. Smooth, roasty and dry with some licorice, burnt malts, hints of bitterness, ash and coffee. A bit unbalanced
