Ordentliches IPA, das mit jedem Schluck anders schmeckt. Am Anfang hatte ich noch Honignoten, jetzt eher trocken und bitter, eher wenig fruchtig, recht englisch.

[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Huntington Beach, Ca.] A murky amber pour with a tight cream coloured head; aroma of jammy malts and piney hops; full on taste of resinous hops to start, then a caramel malt body emerging; to leave a more palatable hoppy finish.

American style imperial stout by this Californian craft brewery, bomber shared with Goedele. Pale mocha-beige, mousy, very regular, slowly opening and dissipating head on a black beer with a hazy mahogany edge of about a quarter of an inch deep. Aroma of burnt toast, toasted walnuts, cold Irish coffee, hint of balsamic vinegar, black chocolate, whisky, dried figs, caramel, soy sauce, dry beef stock cubes. Sweetish onset, dried figs, old raisins, hint of black olive and soy sauce, softish carb, soft oily body, coating the mouth cavity with smooth roasted-nutty, black-chocolatey and eventually quite pronounced roasted coffee-bitter maltiness, yet feeling somehow a bit on the thinnish side for this style (and ABV); ends with ongoing roasty bitterness, enhanced by spicy hoppiness and whisky-like alcohol, yet without too many further ornaments; the bitter black coffee effect lingers for a long time. Very decent, but notably old school too, as I’m tasting an American stout of one or two decades ago; strangely the global ‘sweetening’ of the style and the use of desserty adjuncts has not reached this beer yet. I, for one, do not mind what some would probably regard as an outdated character: after all these sweet (and overly sweet) imperial stouts I keep encountering today, it feels really good to come across an old-fashionedly roasted one like this ‘Ale Epêteios’ – heck, it almost made me nostalgic.

Schönes Dosenlayout, in der Nase schon recht crispy, Getreide, leicht süß, spannend. Im Trunk setzt das leider nicht so intensiv durch. Trotzdem schön kernig, mittig bitter, hinten süß, süffig, lecker Ding.
