Aarhus Bryghus Imperial Stout is a traditional Baltic Stout at 8%. The smoothness in the beer stems from the exclusive use of aroma-hops and a generous dose of cane sugar.
The taste of Aarhus Brewery Stout is thick and bold. Although it is a heavy beer, it is not the hops that are dominant. This makes it easier to drink, than many other dark beers. There is also a slight sweetness from the cane sugar, that is balanced with hops. In time, the bitterness from the hops subside, and the sweetness will dominate.
The Imperial Stout will age and mellow with time. The young Stout goes well with red meat, while the Stout after a couple of years loses much of the bitterness and goes well with a rich chocolate cake.

600 ml bottle. Very dark brown body with a medium sized beige head. Aroma has dark malt, liquorice and coffee. Flavor is sweet malt, light caramel, coffee, some liquorice and mild bitterness. Medium body and aftertaste. Drinkable, but rather neutral and nor much imperial.

Clear black, small beige head. Good roasted aroma with chocolate and coffee notes and late booze. Similar flavour, gets pretty boozy. Quite ok but lacks body to support the alc.
