Black with a thin tan head. Soft and welcoming though full of flavor. Roasted notes, dark bread, light molasses, chocolate, a bit earthy, the pandan shows up in the middle. A hint of vanilla in the background. Medium bodied. Finish is sharp with alcohol, dry dark chocolate, and sweet earthy vibes. I’ve had pandan in cocktails before and wasn’t expecting it to work here but it does rather well. Very nice.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Murky orange colour, miniscule head. Orangey pineapple aroma. Mid sweet with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and grainy with pineapple and passionfruit. Mid bitter finish.

A good surprise for a beverage free of alcohol, coming from a good brewery, in my point of view. The first note is rather fruity, side of lychee, dry malt and becoming more bitter and citrus at the final, thank you king of hop, 26.06.21, at my room hotel, Paris gare de Lyon.

-1 point for the utterly irritating wax, making it a threat for my fingers. A few seconds of russet-beige bubbles over jet-black beer. Rather fruity aroams, with liquorice, some roast, and maltsyrup. Lots of esters, higher alcohols and fusels, cake glazing, meatroast, dark berries. Thick, chewy, luxurious beer, alcoholheat. Full bodied, well carbonated and hot. Impressive. And I had no idea that Crème de Cassis came in barrels ?!

33cl bottle pours with a deep dark chocolate colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a bit of plum and fig fruity esters flowing into chocolate, caramel and a sense of booze. The taste delivers similar notes with sweet sugar stewed plums and figs as well as growing chocolate maltiness and booziness. Another sip reveals thin wafers of dark roastiness and nuttiness. Solid offering.

Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a thin cap of an off-white foamy head which quickly dissipated to barely leave any lace
Aroma: rich dark malts, chocolate malts, coffee beans, subtle vanilla, some earthy character further underneath
Flavor: semi-sweet coffee beans running through some chocolate malts, some roastiness lean aftertaste of chocolate, coffee and vanilla
Texture: medium bodied, runs smooth and semi-creamy along my tongue, clean roasty finish
Overall: a very nicely done Imperial Baltic porter, I'd definitely have again.
