Flaska från SB. Stiltypisk Imperial Stout. Riktigt mörkt brun, högt ljusbeige skum. Fin ganska söt doft med lite alkoholvärmechokladkola, kaffe, mörk torkad frukt. Smaken är lite vass och munkänslan likaså. Saknar fyllighet och krämighet, smaken lätt bränd och besk och inte lika stor som doften. Helt okej, men når inte ända fram.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a black colored body yields a nice two finger tan head that slowly concaved into the body leaving beautiful spotty spider web lacing. The body was too dark for any carbonation to be seen rising.
The smell was coffee, chocolate and plums up front and were all powerfully strong.
The taste was dry in the coffee and chocolate flavorings and added a semi-sweetness that helped to round it out.
The palate was heavy on the body, this was exceptionally smooth on my tongue, but not watery. I would say this was fairly drinkable.
Overall, this was good for me and good for its style. I would come back to this again.

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours oily black with a creamy dark mocha head that slowly dissipates while leaving a thick creamy trace on the glass. Smell is malty and balanced with roasted malts, high quality dark chocolate, brown sugar sweetened dark roast coffee, tar, charred wood, caramel, burnt cookies, hay and sweet dark bread. Taste is sweet, bitter and malty with roasted malts, high quality dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, charred wood, alcohol, moist soil, sweet liquorice candy, caramel, hay, burnt cookies and toffee. Mouthfeel is round, oily, boozy, tiny roasted astringent and near full bodied. Finish is bitter and malty with roasted malts, charred wood, toffee, caramel, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate and hay. A nice surprise! Very good simple Imperial Stout...

Bottle from Systembolaget Jakobsberg. Black with a medium, firm tan head. Aroma and taste of licorice, dark chocolate, roasted malt, some notes of fruit and toffee. On the sweet side and relatively easy to drink. A descent one.

Pours dark creamy brown/black with small tan head that fades. Aroma is sweet with chocolate, dark fruit and slight roasted coffee. Taste follows with a dry finish. I like it but it needs more roasted and toasted malt.
