Bottle, 7.7%, Fruity aroma, a little sour rag. Almost black colour, with a dark brown shine. Big and quite stable grey/brown head. The flavour is roasted with some liquorice and some of the cardboard I often get in hombrewed and microbrewed stouts. Unpleasant cardboard and yeast notes. Late roast malt bitterness, quite peppery and rough. There is also some sourness in here that is fortunately hidden by other flavours. Thick mouthfeel. Flavourful, but not really my cup of stout.

Bottle, 6.9%. The aroma is very perfumy, and a bit soapy. Very cloudy yellow/orange colour. Nice, big, stable, rocky white head. The flavour is a good mix of alcohol, sweetness, malt and honey. The honey is more noticeable in the aftertaste. There is also a late, satiating alcohol flavour and feel, getting almost harsh, even whiskeyish.

Bottle, 5.2%. OK fruity aroma. Very cloudy chestnut colour with a very nice, creamy and stable head. The flavour is quite malty, a little sour and with a harsh bitterness. But actually in good balance, and nicely thirst-quenching.

Orange colour, small white head. Malty and fruity aromas. Alcohol doesn’t cut through the fruity tastes. Nice full body.

Dark black color, medium creamy brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, some mocha, chocolat, slight hop, slight licorice. Creamy chocolat taste, quite hoppy, sweet. Defenitely a stout. It’s the predecessor of the yet to be released Rasputin Imperial Stout. I’m looking forward to that!
