0,33 boks fra VP Kvaddå, delt hjemme med Daglig Leder på vår 33 års bryllupsdag: brunsvart med ok skum. Raffinert aroma og enda bedre smak med mørke karamellsjokolader, nytraktet luxuskaffe tilsatt et par dråper bourbon, hint av salt og i det hele en suverent balansert nytelse. Den friske, syrlige kaffesmaken har et element av bjørnebær i seg. Gratulerer med dagen, Kitty!

170ml draught at Ølhallen. Near-clear golden body under a tiny white head leaving fair lacing on the glass. Inviting hop fruity aromas, citric moments to it. Well hop fruity taste, sappy grapefruits to the fore followed by a semi-dry fruity ending with a discreet bitter bite. Medium bodied. Likeable.(Tromsø, 13.01.2026).

0,33 stridsenhet fra et velfungerende utsalg rett sør for bygrensa, hjemme: nærmest viskøs utskjenking til mitt Orval-glass, kortvarig beige skum, kaffeduftende og med akutt symptombehandlende smak og virkning. Nytraktet espresso tilsatt en kork (eller to!) Baileys, mørke karamellsjokolader og et streif av kanel. Sterkt vanedannende, men heldigvis alt for dyr til at den kan bli et jevnlig innslag.

12 oz. can. Pitch black in appearance. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate malt, soft earth. Flavor is a exact copy. Good body and strength of the malts. Nice body with a bitter char finish. Maybe a hint of alcohol. Decent for sure.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: pours like a dark motor oil with an even gludgy sound and left an off-white foamy head
Aroma: rich roasty coffee beans, cocoa powder, dark bread
Flavor: semi-sweet with some bitterness, robust roastiness, semi-toasty, subtle roasty to semi-ashy aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied with a robust smooth feel, the wheat seems to just provide the level of the body but doesn't really add to the aroma or flavor, roasty finish
Overall: I'd say a nicely done RIS worthy of returning to.

16 oz. can. Pitch black in appearance. Aroma is slight chocolate, malt, light, roast, mild coffee. Flavor is a very good expression of a classic imperial stout. Good roasted malt, backbone with chocolate and coffee like hints. Body is full with a smooth texture. Slight bitter finish. Good.

Tap at Valhalla Prague. Thx Gurthnar! Bit hazy dark red, brownish body, thick off-white head. Sourish, cherry, red grape, dusty notes, bit of caramel and saliva. Lean, dry taste, sour cherries, metallic, low caramel, more simplistic than expected but a nice one!

Tap at Valhalla. Hazy golden-amberish body off-white head. Dry white wine aroma, dry white wine taste, astringent, very astringent. No, this is bad.... Sorry Peter for suggesting it!
