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.

Hazy blond with thin head. Aroma has lots of winey yeasty notes and is quite tart. Flavour is similar but with added fructose-like sweetness.

Bottle @ Hotel NH Eixample, Barcelona. Pours black, no head, but some not so nice looking yeasty floaties on top. Aroma of sweet roasted malt, caramel, little coffee, dark chocolate, coconut. Flavor is very sweet, malt, caramel, sugar, dark chocolate, heavy coconut, bounty bar chocolate. Full body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation, sweet finish with light warming alcohol. Shame about the looks. 300416

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Stas. Cloudy deep amber. Aroma full of chili, quite vegetal and spicy, a bit smoky, with some malt. Sweet flavor with malt, caramel, lots of vegetal chili, somewhat spicy, mildly hot, mildly smoky. Medium-bodied. OK for what it is, but not my thing.

0,2l bottle at home courtesy of my Secret Santa Lowenbrau, big thanks. BB 2017. Nice packaging.. black color, almost no head (dark coffee-colored colored anyway). smells of licorice, some wood, light dried fruits, some ash, charcoal, spices, coffee, earthy, light bitter chocolate. very lovely smell. full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of licorice, some wood, coffee, bitter chocolate, spices, light alcohol, bit earthy. finishes a bit light with some roast and notes of licorice and coffee. very good stuff, just on the finish it looses a bit, I guess because of the low ABV (compared to other imp stouts). In general this would benefit from a bit more body, the aroma was very lovely though. Overall quite nice beer.
