At 12% ABV, this Imperial Stout unfolds waves of dark chocolate complemented by the rich notes of fresh nuts. A time spent in barrels, alongside walnuts and hazelnuts, created a fusion of roasted malt and nutty complexity.

Dark brown, no head, aroma has a lot of toffee, fairly rich. Nutty, lots of chocolate. Good rich stout, walnut, a bit of acidity. Solid.

500mL can, pours black with a tiny head. Aroma has a rather boozy, harsh bourbon barrels, some toasted nuts, and roasted malt. Flavour is quite sweet, with plenty of dark sugars, some toasted nuts, and some roast, with a bit of harsh barrels. Not the most rounded or complex but it works. Good.

Can at Goblet ZG with Hrabren and Ogi. Very dark brown body, no head. Caramel, coffee and nutty notes in the sweetish sweetish aroma, bit dusty. Sweetish caramelly taste, light old barrel touches, sweet nutty notes, alcohol. Okay really, the best in the series for now for me I guess.
