Keg at the Letraria Porto. A black mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting smooth tan head. Aroma is sweet and creamy, tangy roast, apple. Some hot ferment. Flavour is composed of semi sweet milky smooth roast, light cinammon. Palate is semi sweet lactose sugars, oily, lowish carbonation. Not bad.

Re-rating (previous 3.3). Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 20C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L18-2020 (BBF 06-2022). AROMA: medium roasted aroma with a coffee impression, slight prunes, vinous and dark chocolate. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color to black with slightly ruby highlights. opaque. medium-low brown head, with medium-low retention. leg formation. FLAVOR: medium-high roasted malt flavor with coffee notes, followed by low Maillard and esteres (prune) and slight vinous character. All these characteristics are overwelmed by a strong burnt character. medium-high bitterness with a dry, burnt and bitter finish. PALATE: full body and silky. low carbonation. OVERALL: an ok imperial stout a bit unbalanced on the roasted malts.
