Super duper vanilla and bourbon, hints of chocolate nibs. Smooth and thick.

Imperial porter with chocolate and peanut, can shared by Danny, thanks! Thick, dense, creamy, beige head over a very dark chestnut brown beer, as good as black in general appearance. Rich, desserty and at the same time somewhat tangy aroma of peanut butter and toasted peanuts, milk chocolate bars, fudge, candied dates, brownies, almond, toasted bread. Sweet onset but nothing cloying, rich and candied, candied dates and lots of nuttiness, with indeed a peanut butter-like flavour, matching well with a softly carbonated, creamy, smooth, full caramelly and nutty body with toasted bitter edges in the finish, light spiciness, chocolate effects and some warming, rum-like alcohol. Peanut stouts and porters were the first true 'pastry stouts' that have gained so much popularity in especially Scandinavia these days and this is a very good example of that particular segment, technically flawless and rich in flavour, with the peanut butter aspect elegantly mingled with the nutty, caramelly and chocolatey character of the malts. Highly enjoyable offering.

Black with a wispy dark head. Sweet aroma of melted caramel, bourbon, peach, chocolate, light roasted malts. Thick and syrupy. I was very skeptical about the peach but it pairs so well with the beer and the caramel adds a nice, but not overly sweet, depth to it. A helluva beer.
