330 ml bottle from Beer Store Vienna, bb 01.03.2018
Dark brown to black body, with a small, creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of dried fruits, dark berries, vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, some wood, subtle liquorice.
Tastes quite similar, but less sweet, with more cocoa, coffee, tobacco.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes medium roasty, medium dry, a bit warming, wooden, with liquorice, coffee, chocolate, dark fruits.
Very nice. A quite unique style example, more on the sweet side, especially in the nose. Taste has more roasty and dry notes and is really diverse, with fruits, sweet notes and the typical roasty notes of this style, which come through more and more as the beer warms up. Overall among the best Imperial Stouts from Austria, while still not my favourite one.

Draught at CBF Wien.
Brown body, with a big, creamy, lacing, beige head.
Aroma of grapefruit, caramel, orange, some tropical fruits, subtle liquorice.
Tastes of grapefruit, orange, caramel, peach, some passion fruit, biscuit, some honey.
Medium, oily to creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, a bit dry, zesty, fruity, moderate sweet malty.
Very nice. The nose has some unusual notes, not sure if they are from the ink (does that even has aroma?). Taste is really lovely, smooth, very hoppy, but also with a broad, sweet malt body. Great balance throughout. Overall a really enjoyable, heavier, but quaffable DIPA.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks zvikar. Hazy golden. Aroma of dusty malt, caramel, diacetyl, stale floral hops. Sweet flavor with malt, caramel, stale hops, light tea note, a bit of diacetyl, and a bitterish finish. Medium-bodied.
