Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Dark brown colour with red tinge, some bubbles on top and aroma of dark cherries, malt, leather, cigars, red wine. Taste is sweetish & sour, cherry, malt, caramel, red wine, oak, with some leathery bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying soured boozy finish. Nicely drinkable.

21/1/2023. Can shared at the first ITFC 2023 beer share. From Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours very dark brown with a short lasting frothy off-white head. Aroma is boozy, red wine, woody, yeasty, cherry. Moderate sweetness, medium woody bitterness, moderate sour which starts quite intensely but fades. Medium body, average carbonation. Dry, tannic, charred wood finish. Worked well.

2/1/2023. Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours very dark brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, raspberry, pavlova, flowery perfume, molasses, liquorice, treacle, tar. Moderate sweetness, light bitterness and sourness. Medium body, oily, soft carbonation. Finished with a good dose of heartburn. I've enjoyed others in this series but to me this was muddled and not hugely enjoyable.

Merci à Graham pour cette découverte. Je me demande pourquoi ils se sont mis à 3 pour brasser cet Ukrainian Imperial Stout qui n'est à vrai dire, pas réellement bonne avec des arômes torréfiés qui ne s'imposent pas réellement. Sont-ce les graines de tournesol qui donnent ce résultat, peut être. Le visuel est sur un noir total avec une belle mousse brune et crémeuse de 1 cm. Au nez, ce ne sont pas les arômes torréfiés qui l'emportent mais l'amertume simple (Styrian wolf comme houblon) et l'alcool, brut. On retrouve tout de même des arômes de noisette et un léger cacao. En bouche, ce ne sont pas les arômes torréfiés qui l'emportent également avec de surcroît un alcool trop présent voire brutal. La sucrosité est pour sa part trop poussée avec in fine trop de déséquilibres. Pas terrible.

Can. Beer Central Sheffield. Amber colour. Soft haze. Slim dense just of white foam. Well I don’t know how but the aroma is nailed on digestive biscuit based lemon cheesecake. Impressive. Tastes like it too. Lovely twang. Smooth and super easy drinking. Minimal amount of acidity. Really good.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - mat black with a thin off-white head. Nose - lightly rum and brown sugar with something a bit like glue. Taste - boozy raisins, in fact rum and raisin. Ginger bread. Palate - medium to full bodied, sweet and very boozy. Overall - enjoyable if a bit unbalanced.
