Here we’ve brewed a big 10% imperial stout with a complex malt grist using eight different malts, caramel in the boil and coffee and cocoa nibs in the fermentor. The beer has a big nose of creamy tiramisu, an incredibly smooth and silky body and a balanced sweetness to carry these heavyweight flavours. Flavours of rich chocolate, sweet cherries from the mildly roasted coffee and clean oak from the cocoa nibs make this beer a perfect aperitif or pudding substitute.

Tap @ True North Bar, Stavanger. Black body with a small, dense beige head. Aroma is smooth roasted, dark malt, hint of vanilla and caramel. Flavor is a little bit of disappointment based on the aroma, roasted dark malt, vanilla, coffee and moderate bitterness, but it feels a bit raw and almost slightly acidic bitter in the aftertaste. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. By all means a really fine stout, but something is missing to make it a top notch one.

Can from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Black with next to no head. It’s strong tasting with a light roasted malt flavour. There’s some nuttiness too, and has a mild sticky-sweet texture.

200ml draught at Agenturet Øl og Vinbar. Dotted spots on the glass from a filmy beige layer. Black in the glass. Promising smell of nutty malts and almond. Mid-sweet chocolate flavours joined by nuts and liquorice. Smooth, mid-sweet malt driven finish. Fine depth. Enjoying. (Tromsø 03.11.2018).
