bottle from beerbay. this bottle says 12.8% alc. Brewed in brazil, sold from beer shop in spain, rated in denmark. this beer has been around. pitch dark, brown head. long time since i had just this aroma. it's roasted malts, coffee, faint wood, strong boozy note or just strong alc. then a near phenolic but not just quite sensation that might also be described as cellary (like stone walls in a cellar). flavor is roasted malts, coffee, lots of coffee in fact, and good coffee at that, hard roasted malts. although it is quite strong it is not very sweet, the coffee and perhaps some hops, are doing great at keeping it balanced and sort of dryish. lots of malty notes though. flavor is quite clean and straight, not much burnt wood or super hard roasted malts, smoked malts or the like. just plain impy stoutness. doesn't taste like it was in a barrel, but i could suspect perhaps some wood chops were used, there is a subtle woody note to the complexity. pretty nice beer. isn't it pretty hot in sao paulo most of the time. Who other than me could think of sitting in the sun and craving an imperial stout? it happens.. although I think hot sun is ipa weather... When I rate this, it is at 4.14. I think that is too high. The phenolic note is there, both aroma and flavor. It does stack up quite well with other beers in the 4.0 to 4.2 range though, so perhaps 4.14 is not too far from the mark.
