From a 330 ml bottle on 6/8/2022. Pours near black with not much head. Has a strong coconut aroma with some chocolate in the mix. The flavour is again quite strongly of choc coconut. Don’t really get much coffee though. Medium roasty bitterness at the back. Thick mouthfeel and softish carbonation. Very nice big sipper.

A Pohjala imperial stout, going a good direction I think and hope. One of the higher level beers purchased at Amathus Soho on a visit to London a few months ago. I ready to sample now, my New Belgium globe glass awaits. More black than brown on the pour with little in the way of a head. The scent gives up chocolate and grain but the labeled adjuncts are at bay. I lift for a sip, oh my, this is spectacular. Whole grain bread, bakers chocolate, toffee, an intrusion from the coconut, some coffee background, sorghum, a strawberry sweetness, malt and dark plums. The 12.5% abv is noted by its burn on the way down. Truly an enjoyable imperial stout, broad and rich and tasty.

Bottle. Pours near black with a slight ruby hue and a thin brown head that dissipates quickly and nearly completely. Aroma has a good amount of coffee with a growing coconut and some bitter dark grains backing. Flavor is much more coconut forward with growing bitterness from the coffee and a dark grain backbone.

(Bottle) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with black coffee, dark chocolate, coconut, black rye bread and burnt sugar. Malty, roasted, sweet taste with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, toasted coconut, black bread, brown sugar and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Full body, really sweet. Ok, possibly a bit too sweet, but really rich and tasty with lots of chocolate and coconut. A dessert on its own. Very nice.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 12.5%. Pitch black colour, small brown head of poor retention. Aroma of roast malts, coconut, molasses, coffee, hints of vanilla and chocolate. Moderate to low carbonation, rich mouthfeel. Very sweet flavour (too sweet), with the same elements as in the aroma.
