Buque insignia de la nave Pirata, nuestra Russian Imperial Stout de 11,2% es una cerveza con mucha presencia, mucho cuerpo, mucha densidad y absoluta oscuridad, potente y redonda, para los buenos amantes de las stout. Balanceada, bastante dulce y de ligero amargor final, resinoso y de licor.

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.

This is amazing, tastes close to a barleywine though more roasted. Looks like the BA versions are nuts -- I wish I had seen those. Would definitely seek out more from these Spanish folks.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with slightly late awakening, small, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, tan head. Intense, roasty, sweet-ish, chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of molasses, treacle, dark chocolate, Belgian chocolate, a touch of tar. 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. Viscous texture, smooth and soft, creamy palate, fine and soft carbonation. Harmonious and balanced, dangerously drinkable due to the fruity part - very nice.

Ze szkła bardzo przyjemny, słodki, intensywny aromat w przywodzący na myśl dzisiejsze pastry a nie klasycznych imperialnych stoutów z wyraźną palonością, kawą, i czekoladą, pierwszy plan słodkie suszone owocki ( figi, daktyle, rodzynki) do tego przyjemna alkoholowość , bardzo fajnie otwiera się w kierunku słodziaszkowo-likierowym. W smaku gorzka czekolada, likierowo- cukierkowa alkoholowość ( coś w stylu nadzienia cukierków adwokat zmieszanego z irish coffe ), jest kontra. Ciało, wysycenie ok. Bardzo smaczna podstawka.

(Bottle) Black colour with brief, bubbly, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of caramel, chocolate, sweet liquorice and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with caramel, burnt sugar, dark chocolate, coffee, sweet liquorice, black rye bread, roasted grain and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. Not very complex for this kind of beer, but tasty and quite well balanced for its strength. Nice one.

Creamy tan head stayed on a near black still body. Malt, dark berry & sweet coffee aroma. Medium to full bodied, tickling the front with a creamy back. Malt, creamy sweet coffee, sweet berries, dark spirits & nutty tastes with a big boozy kick on the finish. Very tasty!

Zwart bier met kleine bruine schuimkraag. Smaak is warm en zoet met duidelijk iets van chocolade, vanille en heel zacht ietwat rook aanwezig. Erg fijn bier.
