Duzo wanilii i kokosa (pol na pol). Wisnie, sliwki suszone. Malo RISa. Malo ciala. Za dlugo w beczce? Ale smaczne bardzo.

Trou du Diable L’Imperatrice Barrel Aged Imperial Stout 10% Deep cola black with a tan head and a whiskey/bourbon, chocolate, maple, coconut and vanilla. Medium bodied and dry with oak, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla and maple. The cookie subdues the bourbon and accentuates the chocolate. Great stuff!

Sampled from 0.75 l bottle at RBBSG 2016 in Evergem. Hazy, very dark red to black with a light brown head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of dark chocolate, some coffee, vanilla and some oak. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty taste of caramel, dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla and some oak, followed by a medium long, moderately roasty-bitter, slightly warming-alcoholic finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Thank you for sharing! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG V. Black with a HUGE tanned mocha head. Nose is mocha, roasted qualities, lightly aggressive with some charred oak, bit fizzy. Taste is mix of fizzy roasted malts, booze, molasses, charred oak, bit harsh, roasted,… Aggressive, rather raw but in a good & pleasant way. Nice beer but I have had the base beer & I slightly preferred this one, this one is a bit fizzy & the bourbon added basically nothing here, too bad.

Foams a lot when pouring. Aroma sweet bourbon notes, vanilla and some coconut. Somewhat foamy palate. Flavour has coconut, vanilla, coffee and woody whisky notes. Warming alcohol in the dry finish. Good.

750ml bottle @ ISKTR. Gusher alert! Pours pitch black with a massive foamy head. Aroma of caramel, coconut, toffee, roasty malts, hints of oak, dark chocolate and buttery bourbon notes. Taste is carbonated, sweetish and roasty with some oak, chocolate, hints of buttery bourbon. Finish is carbonated, sweet, syrupy and slightly roasty with some coffee, chocolate and hints of bourbon. A bit too carbonated.

On tap at barVolo, Toronto. Pours black with little head. Aroma has bourbon and sweet chocolate. Bourbon flavor with cocoa and raisin. Has a spirit-like crispness to it. Fairly tasty.

Pitch black color. Thin brown head. Surprisingly sour nose with lots of roasted malts, very vinous with light bourbon notes. The mouth is superb smooth, tart, vinous, lots of dark fruit. The end falls off quickly, but alcohol is well hidden. Sour with a bit of bourbon in the finish.
