Draught at Bådin Beer Fest 2024. Misty golden body, filmy layer, poor lacing. Moderate aromas of grape skins. Quite prominent grape fruity taste, woody dry, and vinous. Ripe fruity ending. Fair enough. (Bodø, 01.06.2024).

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 20C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch: 868/869 (BB 12/2025). AROMA: medium-high roasted aroma with notes of chocolate, dark fruits, nutty and a slight vinous alcohol. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color and opaque um ruby highlights. medium-low light brown head with average retention. TASTE: initial medium-high roasted malt flavor with slight notes of chocolate and nuts, followed by an excessive burnt character that masks these initial notes. medium-high bitterness with a dry and charcoal-burnt finish that persists. MOUTHFEEL: velvety medium-high body with medium carbonation. slight astringency. smooth alcohol warmth. OVERALL: an imperial stout with a very good aroma but with excessive burnt character in the flavor, possibly due to formulation issues.
