Judge for yourself, could we resist and not combine two wonderful flavors? Velvet imperial stout, chocolate notes, a little coffee and biscuit plus delicious salted caramel?
1977 року кондитер з Бретані Анрі ле Ру придумав зварити карамель з додаванням місцевої морської солі. І це було просто осяяння.
Самі судіть, чи могли ми встояти і не з'єднати два прекрасних смаки? Оксамитовий імперець, де шоколад, трохи кави і бісквіт, плюс ніжна солона карамель?

Хороший стаут кстати, думал будет более пустое, но нет, приятный шоколад, сладость, кофе. Может только балансика побольше бы.

330ml can. Pours black with a small beige/tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, molasses, caramel. Taste of molasses, a bit of dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, a touch of coffee bitterness, minimal salt maybe just enough to warrant the salted caramel descriptor. Medium bodied.
The adjunct usage is pretty low here but I don't see that as a bad thing, think of it like a trad stout with a small amount of salted caramel flavouring.

330ml slim can sold to me by djoeye. Coal black body, tiny fawn-coloured head, dotted spots on the glassware. Quite promising aromas of roasted black chocolate malts. Dark malt-driven taste, impacts of chocolate, earth, and prunes. Smoothly roasted malty finish, long-lived. Well bodied. Likeable. (Tromsø, 26.08.2025).

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Red session), pours a deep dark dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma has soft cocoa, earthy notes, and bready malt. Flavour has soft cocoa, light bready malt, and some murkiness. Dry, muffled cocoa on the finish. Not great.
