Pinball Profile

stylish tall and thin 330cl can.
pours dark brown, settles black with a huge smooth brown head.
complex aroma, roasted malts dominated but also brown sugar, salty sweet caramel, perhaps a bit of wood, way tiny bit of dried dark fruits. hard to tell the nuances, but the roasted malty aroma has tons of them.
flavor is solidly roasted malty but a tiny bit watery or thin, besides the roasted malts i find english licorice, brown sugar, cofee bitterness towards the end, mineral watery notes, faint wood like funk. aftertaste is very roasted malty and quite roasted coffee like too. long lasting aftertaste that just grows more and more roasted.

really good imp stout, quite dry overall and full of finer nuances. It is very old-fashioned in that it tastes like imperial stouts tasted 15 years ago. It has some sort of european aura about it, reminds me of the early european imp stout successes out of the new and upcoming european craft brewers.

aroma is salty, brown sugary sweetness also a tart fruity note , blending into the saltiness, some bitterness, the bitterness reminds me of an imp stout with tons of coffee. it could also be the aroma of an imperial stout that had gone sour by accident or purpose. looking forward to flavor..
poured clear dark brown settled dark brown to black, huge smooth head that went a away after a minute or two.
flavor is quite sweet, chocolate, vanilla, toffee, butter caramel, ending is distincly bitter with what i think is roasted malty bitterness blended with some dark bitter caramel bitterness and some bitter-nutshell-you-should-not-eat bitterness, almost bordering burnt plastic bitterness. the palate is crazy thick, like oil. overall a bit messy and weird and below par for moresleutel who does excellent black ones.
