ABV: 8.0% IBU: - Ticks: 13
Imperial Russian Stout dal colore bruno scuro, dal timbro nettamente alcolico e caratterizzato da malti tostati, con schiuma compatta e fine che racchiude gli aromi di liquerizia, caffè e cacao, del tutto in equilibrio col corpo importante e con l’elevato grado di amaro.
…e quando ha fine il giorno, i pensieri rallentano e prendono vigore al riparo dal fragore della luce. Ecco il tempo del ristoro e della libertà della mente: è il calare della Tenebra.

Draft @ Green River, Bologna. Brune foncée tirant sur le noir, col épais moka crémeux. Arôme est simplement profond au niveau du malt avec un délicieux chocolaté et grillé vraiment au devant. Ce chocolaté vient carrément dominer le bouquet. Le côté houblonné reste fort discret et apporte peu en terme de complexité aromatique. Palais est ici aussi renforcé par les malts caramel choco, dark avec cette impression de chocolat noir et d’un grillé en fin de bouche. L’amertume pointe son nez en toute fin de bouche et apporte une fine note citronnée.

Dark brown, aroma befits an 8% stout, mainly chocolate with light fruit. Rich taste, silky milk chocolate body, modest bitterness, subtle burnt fruitiness and background roast, in a body that is generally quite drinkable for the style.

Bottle at the Beer, Bocce and Boozer Tasting, London. This bottle gushed and shamed me. Pretty explosive. It was in good shape flavor-wise, though. Pours black-brown with a creamy tan head. Light roast in the nose, some grass, earth and cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with dark chocolate, light soap and rubbing alcohol, subtle roast. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Warm, semi-sweet finish with some heavy booze, dark cocoa and moderate roast. Decent beer overall. Could do with some fine tuning, but it’s decent as is.

Bottle (gusher!), thanks to Leighton at his Beer, Bocce and Boozer tasting. It pours opaque dark brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is smoke, roasted malt, hint of vinegar/tangy fruit, caramel and spice. The taste is roasted malt, milk chocolate, liquorice, meat and caramel, with a dry finish. Medium body and very lively carbonation. Decent enough.
