Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse, Stockholm
Black color; thick creamy head. Good aroma, showing mainly roasted malts, some glue, chocolate, light ripe banana or apple. Smooth, velvety mouthfeel, with excellent malt and soft roasted malt, some coffee, sweet and just the correct bitterness, fresh. Dangerous!

(Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm, Mar 11) Colour is pitch black with a creamy off-white head. Nose is roasted with lots of dark, bitter chocolate, smoky notes and hints of soy sauce (or maybe oyster sauce). Taste is stunning: roasted malt, soy/oyster sauce, black coffe, chocolate truffels. Starts smooth and somewhat oily, becomes more and more bitter and mellows to become more velvety towards the finish. Very well done! (Rerate, bottled, 13 Sep) Appearance and nose is mainly the same as the draught version. Taste, however, lacks some of the brilliant balance: lots of chocolate and black coffee, notes of liquorice, soy sauce, wet ashes and salt. Wineous and citrussy, starts sweet, turns drier in the bitter and roasted finish. More balance and smoother, firmer body in the the draught version, but still, quite a magnificent brew.

Rating added 3/6/2006Bottle at Bishops Arms (Västra Hamngatan) Gothenburg, SwedenDark ruby red color, thick creamy brown head. Lots of chocolate and some coffee in the scent, fruity tones, a bit of raisin.Lots of coffee in the taste, very dry mouthfeel. Looong aftertaste with caramel and coffee, very sweet and a good bitterness. Big body, almost thick. Some harshness as of the skin of grapes.My rating is from my first impression only. It (the beer) gets pretty "much" after a while though. Share it with someone (to that price you should).8/5/7/4/14=3.8

Bottled. Opaque black with surprisingly rich, creamy beige head. Fruity nose with notes of prickly pears and licorice. The mouthfeel is slim and soft. Plenty of sweet malt and estery notes of higher alcohols. Very vinous with notes of coffee. The initial sweetness is replaced by a dry finish. Complex. An unusual imperial stout with as it is so fruity and vinous, and yet it does not get sticky or overly sweet.

Cloudy dark amber. Rich deep fruity, malty aroma. Plums, oranges, soy sauce, mirin and cider in the nose. There’s a lot to absorb here. Very chewy, with rich soy saucy malts. Fairly smooth body. Intensely fruity finish and deceptive strength. A little lactic...turning maybe?

A deep red beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with light notes of chocolate. The flavor is sticky sweet with some notes of vegetables, and with an acidic end. I don’t know what went wrong here - bad bottle? I use to like the style, but this was just not me.
