Re-rating (previous 3.3). Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 20C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L18-2020 (BBF 06-2022). AROMA: medium roasted aroma with a coffee impression, slight prunes, vinous and dark chocolate. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color to black with slightly ruby highlights. opaque. medium-low brown head, with medium-low retention. leg formation. FLAVOR: medium-high roasted malt flavor with coffee notes, followed by low Maillard and esteres (prune) and slight vinous character. All these characteristics are overwelmed by a strong burnt character. medium-high bitterness with a dry, burnt and bitter finish. PALATE: full body and silky. low carbonation. OVERALL: an ok imperial stout a bit unbalanced on the roasted malts.
