37.5cl bottle pours with an inky black body that supports a tiny mocha head. The aroma offers up inviting chocolate, burnt sugars, thin burnt malts and molasses. The taste starts pretty smooth with rich chocolate malts, molasses and then dark roasted malts to burnt maltiness. To midway the chocolate grows to meet a modest level of booziness. Nice sipper.

22/V/15 - 37.5cl bottle @ Brazilian Tasting (home) - BB: 28/III/18 (2015-671) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the bottle!
Note: biggest surprise of the evening! Wow!
Little cloudy orange beer, creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of banana, banana candy and banana milk shake, sugary, some forest fruits, sweet. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: little bitter, bit spicy, sweet, but not too sugary, some banana. Aftertaste: sweet, fruity, apricots, some citrus, banana, little spicy, pretty balanced. Damn, this is a very good tripel!

Bottle from Darby’s Liquor Store, Vancouver
Golden color, clear, with medium sized head. Aroma of grain and vegetables. Sweetish mouthfeel, moderate mild flavor; they chose the wrong yeast, the one used in North America that produces estery sweet beers with no Belgian character; there is a fruity touch, it wouldn’t be tropical anyway, more like yellow stone fruits; and the bitterness is too low.
Mediocre beer with a high price tag (6$ after they opened the Advent Calendar box).

Bottle, thanks to Henrique Braga! Pours hazy reddish dark amber with large spongy beige head, caramel and vanilla like yeast aroma, high carbonation, caramel taste, longish finish with caramel aftertaste. Nice but the body is a bit on the thin side.

375 ml bottle into snifter, bottled in 2/2014. Pours dense pitch black color with a minimal lacing cap for a head. Slight spotty lacing clings around the glass, not much carbonation here. Aromas of huge dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, dark bread, toast, toffee, raisin, herbal, light tobacco, light char, and roasted earthiness. Incredible aromas with awesome complexity and balance and dark/roasted malt, cocoa, and moderate dark fruit notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, dark bread, toast, toffee, light raisin, herbal, light tobacco, light char and roasted earthiness. Fair amount of roast/char bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, dark bread, toast, toffee, light tobacco/char, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity and robustness of dark/roasted malt, cocoa, and light-moderate dark fruit notes; with a great roasted bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy, fairly slick, and lightly chalky/bready mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome imperial stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roasted malt, cocoa, and light-moderate dark fruit notes; and very smooth to sip on for the big ABV despite lacking carbonation. A highly enjoyable offering.
