Bottle. Thought that the very idea of an \"imperial lager\" sounded interesting, but pour looks pretty blah... light and clear gold color with a slight head that is fizzy and ephimeral. Aromas are apple juice and spice. Flavor is very sweet... almost like a sparkling apple juice or something with a little bit of a spicy side to it and a corn/adjunct flavor. Really not as exciting as I had hoped.

Big brown lasting head. Black body, barely dark red at edges. Sweetish rich roasty caramely and licorice taste, very rounded and harmonic. Sweet, yet faintly acidic, roasty licorice and caramel taste with wooden notes. Some alcohol heat and even burn. A bit salty. Very harmonic. Nice, and a bit understated, surprsingly. (0.33l bottle from Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Little or no head; yellow-golden beer. Dull malts, chalk, faint lemonbalm. Rather bitterish initial taste, but immediately going into watery flavour & MF, only enlivened by some carbonation. Fizzy-ish, watery. Less than average lager. I wonder what hails some importers. They offer this ultra-bland lager from Lion Brewery, but no way to get the Stout. Potassium metabisulfite????
