650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is mostly dominated by coffee, slight roast and a subtle metallic note. Flavour features coffee, metallic notes, and slight roast - finishes with dry cocoa, and again some metallic notes. Decent incorporation of the coffee but doesn't seem so harmoniously crafted. Also, how is this an imperial?

Bottle from Darby’s, Vancouver
Bright amber color, with short lived head. Some malt caramel and cereals aroma. Good malt flavor, caramel, clean, with some cereals and strong bitterness; some alcohol warmth; also the body strength and mouthfeel are correct; there is some residual sweetness. It’s at least a good Doppelbock, although not eis-ed; I had this bottle warmer than the Russell Eisbock draught, and therefore it was better.

Bottle, 9.5%. Good caramelly aroma with a little rough alcohol. Clear shiny brown colour. Small white head. The flavour is quite caramelly with a good spicy hop note. Rough alcohol flavour. Liquoricy aftetaste, not aniseed, but something similar. Unpolished, but OK.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, metal, caramel, and sirup, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle, 22oz. It pours a crystal clear dark golden to light amber body and a small, light beige head. The aroma is on the malty side, with caramel and a light roasted touch, some alcohol and a touch of dried fruits and hops. It’s full-bodied, warming and quite well carbonated, feeling dry even though it’s sweet on the palate. Lasting finish with warmth and caramel. A quite pleasant one, although too evident on the alcohol. 120218
