0.33 l bottle at home, thanks to Áron for this one. Pours jet black and short lived, beige head. Nose is a big fat cocoa powder and chocolate of a beauty with hints of fruit. The taste actually perfectly reconstructs the aroma: there's chocolate, cocoa, fruits and some warming booze, too. Short chocolate-y, alcoholic finish, soft carbo, medium to heavy body. Excellent brew, and it could be even better if it was a bit more complex.

Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, fruits, some coffee. Flavour is sweet with a moderate roasty bitter finish. Slightly boozy, smooth and nice full body. Very tasty Imperial Stout.

Black with a tall, firm tan head. Bold roasted malt, a bit of burnt malt, cocoa, light soy sauce, molasses, earthy hop notes, light spice notes. Body is lighter than I expected- it’s almost thin but not quite. Savory and charred malt finish. Has a layer of sweet over everything though it doesn’t come across as a sweet stout. It’s quite an interesting beer. Has many of the hallmarks of a classic Impy stout yet it comes across somewhat unbalanced with an aroma and mouth that don’t really come together as they should. Its tasty enough, but not something to inspire awe.

A nice throwback to a classic style that no one brews anymore, and imperial stout with nothing but malt and hops in it. Lorien mallorca

330ml bottle bought at La Boutique de la Cerveza - Estucerveza.com in Valencia. Bubbly, tan head over a coal black body, rings of lace down the glass. Inviting aromas of roasted dark malts, bread and earthy chocolate. Dark malt-forward taste of chocolate, liquorice, and syrup. Roasted chocolate malty finish, earthy. Warming on the swallow. Decent sipper on a Friday eve. A bit heavy to drink, though. (Apartment, La Vila Joiosa, 23.02.2024).

Catada en schnifter, sobremesa del domingo, en calma, escuchando jazz beats, precediendo a una agradable siesta. Color negro opaco, aspecto oleoso, espuma marrón que sin ser muy abundante ni de gran retención no termina de desaparecer. Aroma a malta torrefacta, café expreso, pan tostado, cacao puro. En boca entra sedosa, densa, oleosa, con notas dulces de fondo y una superficie rica en matices torrefactos y amargos, licorosa y placentera. Ciertas notas de regaliz, chocolate a la taza, madera, licor, tabaco puro... Un cervezón de puta madre, para disfrutar en calma.

Tap at La Pirata Malasaña, Madrid, Spain. Pours black, with very fine cream foam. Aroma is intense, with coffee, salty licorice, some vanilla, dark chocolate. Body is thick, with good tickling carbonation, maybe even excessive, given the type of beer. Taste is violently roasty, with some sweetness too. Leaves quite some salivation, with a long final.

Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately, roasty, dark malty, notes of dark caramel, burnt caramel, dark chocolate, a touch of tar, rust, iron, a fruity touch of blueberry and blackberry, cherry liqueur, minimally metallic overtones; minimally warming, alcholic finish.
