Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a very dark brown - close to black - with a vague tint of orange and a small light brown head. Complex aroma of sweet roast and overripe dark fruit with some alcohol showing. Rich body, roast, a little ashes, dark bitter chocolate. Some brown sugar leading up to an alcohol heat in the finish. Complex and well made. 190412

Pours black with a large, dark tan head.Nose shows roasted malt, brown sugar and chocolate. Not particularly expressive.Big roasty notes dominate the flavour, along with liquorice and hot alcohol. A bit harsh and somewhat one-dimensional.Carbonation seem pretty full-on.A decent try but a bit rough and doesnβt show the complexity Iβd expect from an imperial stout.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that fades to less than a coat. Brooding aroma with dark toffee, prunes, coffee, chocolate, raisins, alcohol. Some grass and tar. Oily. Taste is more reserved and less interesting than suggested by the aroma. Sweet with dark toffee and licorice. Rather modest roasted flavours makes it seem in Baltic porter territory to me. Bitterness is gentle, but chokes off the sweetness well - the finish is elegant. [3.4] Yep.
