Bottle, 7%. Weak spicy malt note, molasses and perhaps spicy hops. Almost clear light chestnut colour. Semi-stable off-white head. The flavour is very roasted and caramelly with a woody bitterness in the finish. Roasted caramel, almost smoked caramel or something.

330ml bottle from TBS in Moscow. Gushes upon opening. Pours hazy dirty orange with a tall off-white head. Aroma is citrus, caramel malt, dusty. Taste is the same with moderate sweetness and some piney/resinous hops too. Medium bitter finish. Not that great. And not a Black IPA.

Bottle, 5%. Very fruity aroma, quite caramelly and spicy. Almost clear amber colour. Very big stable off-white head. Slow gusher, but very persistent. The bitterness is a lot like that from grapefruit, but I get more yeast and spicy hop flavour along with caramel than any real grapefruit flavour.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber with profuse, rocky off-white head. clear aroma of malt and yeast, with grassy and citric hints. Bitter, hoppy flavour with clear notes of grapefruit and grassy touches and sweetish hints of yeast and malt. Bitter, grassy and citric aftertaste with estery notes. Reasonable.

Pours hazy brown with a quickly tinning, off-white head. Aroma of sour red apple, raisin, raspberry, chocolate powder, cake, biscuit, almond. Taste has sweet-sour raisin, red apple & raspberry, biscuity & nutty maltiness with a herbal bitter backbone. Dry, herbal hoppy finish, woody, more cake, vague chocolate ganache. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Okay-ish beer but far-fetched for an Imperial Stout.

Creamy tan head stayed on a black still body. Sweet, malt & syrup aroma. Medium bodied, airy over the tongue with a clean back. Bitter/sweet berry, demerara, raisin, malt & citrus tastes with a tangy finish.

Bottle from a gift basket (Bottle Shop Bruges) - thanks, Jerre, Kenny, Lisa & Tycho! GUSHER alert! Hazy red with a lasting, thick, frothy, tan head. Aroma of acetaldehyde (red & green apple), raisin, herbs, black tea, orange peel, moist pepper, vague toast. Taste has red & green apple, some orange, somewhat estery in essence, bitter herbs & pepper with a toasty edge. Dry, earthy hoppy finish, 'hoppy' orange peel, apple, tea leaves. Medium body, oily texture, lively carbonation. Overcarbonated & with an 'infected' quality to it, but tastewise it more or less makes up for that.

Pours hazy ochre with a lasting, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma and taste have a hoppy lager profile with subtle tropical fruit accents: peach, unripe mandarin, pineapple, mango. Bit yeasty, grassy. Dryish, floral hoppy finish, a tad piney with lingering yeastiness. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Slick & refreshing but needed more 'power' in the juicy taste department.
