On tap at The Bishops Arms Gamla Stan, pours a clear copper orange with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of bready malt, light herbal notes, and a touch of toasted caramel. Flavour is malty and dry, with bready malt, a slight herbal character, and a touch of dry caramel. Clean and well-brewed. Pleasant.

Tuli millegi hea isu... magus, röstine, šokolaadine, mesine, kohvine, suhkrune, lagritsane, nats alkone. Hea, aga Närkel on paremaid ja noh ootused olid ka väga kõrged.

330ml bottle. Opaque, quasi black colour with average to huge, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, tan head. Roasty, slightly chocolately, dark malty and minimally grassy, hoppy aroma, notes of dark chocolate, Belgian chocolate, mocha, hints of roasted coffee beans, a minimally grainy touch of coffee surrogate, black bread, pumpernickel. Taste is bitter, roasty dark malty and bitter hoppy, slightly caramel malty with subtle residual sweetness, notes of dark chocolate, burnt caramel, some coffee, caramel, pumpernickel, a touch of toffee.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, dense, foamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Clean, condensed, focussed, fairly meaty, simultaneously relatively drinkable (and in a way more "natural") compared to all those double digit abv Impy Stouts - pretty good.

Pours black, small layer of tanned head. Scent is way more soy than expected. Overpowering... Unpleasant even.. Waauw... Taste is roasty, medium thick, soy, ashy, chocolate. Age shows (always cellared in great condition by myself, had it for a few years, so perhaps bad practises before that?) Tastes like an aged stout, extra's are damp cellar and SOY. Cognac isn't recognizable, neither is oak. Neither is a basebeer thats anything above... OK . WHAT a let down. Is this a fake bottle? had it been poorly stored? is the second batch THIS much less good, or has my palate changed THAT much (and not with any other beers I retried ) ? Who's to say... But the dissapointement is REAL in this one. As far as I remember, I got it trough a non-beer friend in Sweden, straight from systembolaget...
