Dark brown, small head, huge chocolate nose, huge chocolate flavour burst. Behemoth know how to do a good imperial stout. The raspberry tastes too much like the artificial chocolate fish version for me but then maybe its meant to. Good, not great.

From a 440ml can on 12/8/2025. Pours a lightly hazy deep golden with a big foamy white head. The nose featured some muted fruit notes. The taste is mainly apricot and peach with a light tangy bitterness at the back. That it weighs in at 8 per cent is a surprise. Has a slightly silky palate and moderate carbonation. It's pleasant enough, but not much more. Like every Behemoth, the can art is wonderful! Fuck Putin and Trump.

Can. Just unclear amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of breadcrust, white grapes, pine, some tropical fruit. Light bodied. Tastes as it smells. Not very much sweetness despite a lick of caramel. Kiwi hops give way to moderate resinous bitterness. Lacks a little presence but tasty enough.

(Can) Pours opaque golden yellow with small white head. Lovely aroma of citrus, tropical fruit and pine. Medium body with good fine bright carbonation. Great taste. Plenty of hops. Citrus fruit juice start develops herbal and earthy notes that develop through the palate. Pleasant moderate bitterness in finish. Very good.

440ml can. Pours a deep gold , clear with a small off white head. Aroma is mild malt & coffee, lasts right through the glass. Beer is medium bodied, sweet & smooth. Simple flavours of coffee & mild malts. The vanilla was probably lost to some hayfever.
Fine, but surely better as a dark stout.
