250mL bottle at Bishops Arms Gamla Stan. Pours black with a minimal beige head. Tons of rich roasted malts and whiskey barrels on the nose. Flavour has a great roasted malt character, dark chocolate, fairly subtle, but well-integrated whiskey barrels. Nice, old-school imperial stout.

250mL at The Bishops Arms Gamla Stan, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma has plenty of whiskey barrels upfront, almost an English toasted malt character, and dry roast. Flavour is rich, with a soft whiskey barrel character, moderate roast, burnt dark sugars, and English bready malt. Very good use of the whiskey barrels, but their presence is pretty subtly imparted. Very good.

250mL bottle at The Bishops Arms Gamla Stan. Pours black with tan head. Black rum and roasted malts on the nose. Flavour has dark rum barrels, roasted malts, soy sauce; fairly dry finish. Nice, but comes together rather oddly; doesn't really live up to the hype.

250mL bottle at The Bishops Arms Gamla Stan, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with intense rum barrels, soy sauce, marmite, and roasted malt. Flavour is full of marmite, soft rum barrels, gentle roast, and soy sauce. Has some odd flavour characteristics that I wouldn’t normally get past but they seem to work reasonably well here. Good but, as usual, overhyped and overpriced.

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.

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.
