200 ml bottle, bb April 2017. Thanks to my EU Local Swap sender Taboada!
Black body, with a small, dense, coffee-colored head.
Aroma of melting dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, liquorice, some vanilla, subtle dark fruits.
Taste follows this, with additional tobacco and some wooden notes.
Medium, oily to creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes roasty, a bit bitter, quite dry, wooden, with coffee, liquorice, tobacco, cocoa.
Tasty. Maybe not the most complex style example, but dense and well balanced, with lovely dark sweet and roasty notes, while it drinks pretty smooth. Nice surprise, really a top Imperial Stout.
