hazy yellow, smooth light yellow head. looks awesome
aroma could be described as herbal mandarin with a crisp malty base. awesome aroma, after a while it goes more juicy.
flavor is bittersweet with notes of oranges and a sweet sort of grassy hay like note from the hops, the bitterness itself is aromatic, but more grassy and herbal than grapefruity and piney, overall sweet but crisp and moving over into cloying bittersweet territory.

aroma is roasted malty, fresh cucumber, a bit of a boozy note, hints of a nutty barley wine with complexity, also faint notes that very subtly hint nuances that i might find in a quad. Mostly barley wineish though. The barrelling is not dominating in any way, only subtly hinted at. aroma is very well rounded and soft, even with the boozy note in there.
poured clear brown to dark brown with a light brown head that didn't last super long, but was not fizzy.
flavor is really really good barleywine, then add licorice and woody notes, and fainter notes from roasted malts. end is quite roasted malty and everlasting - so end is more imp stoutish than many big imp stouts. but the beginning is like a great barley wine. nutty, slightly caramelly, some roasted malts, some various notes from wood.. the beer flavor seems to stand in the middle between english style strong barley wine and american style super hevy imperial stout. Fantastic sipper.

beatiful hoppy ale aroma with good balance between citrussy and grapefruity hops and solid nutty to sweet malts. also notes of pine. Very high end aroma.
flavor is pine and grapefruit, solid bitterness, resin, old fashiouned west coasty flavor in general, but a few hazy like flavors too. intense flavor, like a triple or quad ipa, if you're into full-on extreme hoppy bitterness this is one for you. intense.

A whole lot of cherries in the aroma, vanilla, cherry stone, fainter sweet mead notes.
pours and settles much like dark red wine
Flavor is sweet mead, a solid cherry base , both mead and cherries match up perfectly with each other, creating a unique smooth flavor, extremely smooth palate, dangerously easy drinking mead with a super delicate fruity note. Although the mead is "only" 12% it does not at all come off as watery or thin, more like the reverse. So much more refined than the typical fortified meads we're used to in DK.

batch2, 2021 version. "Imperial Stout" Tasted oct 11, 2025
dkk 540 in kihoskh.
initial aroma of dark caramel, then after that, coconut and dark chocolate, dark tofffe, chocolate dessert. a bit too much dark caramel and chocolate dessert for my preferences.
pours thick and black, settles with a dark brown head that soon fizzles out.
flavor is quite sweet, vanilla, toblerone chocolate bar, lingering dark caramelly flavor in the background, as well as barrel notes, bourbon, slightly smoked notes. i think the vanilla and the coconut sort of drowns out the roasted malts and the notes from the wood, making the beer just overly sweet and a bit unbalanced. also the dark caramelly note doesn't really fit well in - i would have preferred a roasted malty note instead.
very sweet one. complex if you take away a few layers.

pours clear brown, settles brown with a light brown head.
aroma is very barley wineish, with lots of subtle nuances and notes, but still a very full bodied toasted bready malty toffee like base. the aroma is not boozy, more like velvety but not sweet and not indicating lots of added flavors. super nice aroma, super nice barley wine.
flavor is more all over the place than aroma, and is more like a quad than like a barley wine. i get wood, raisins, yeasty notes, roasted raisins (if that is a thing) dried apple with skin, muesli, extremely complex, mostly resembling a quad. fairly well balanced but with the roughness you could get from a quad - but surprisingly non-brutal, you never get to notice the 12% alc.

surprisingly mild, dominatly dough and citrus like aroma. refreshing but not strong.
flavor is very very well balanced with malts sweetness blending near perfectly into hops herbalness and slight citrus fruitiness, clementines.
easy drinking, crisp and chuggy. dangerous.
