golden with an offwhite small smooth head with large bubbles inside.
flowery aroma and citrussy orange peel like notes too.
flavor is oranges, flowers. dry malts, surprisingly tasty imperial lager. I had it very cold.

Hazy yellow, smooth white head.
Pine and grapefruit in the Aroma faint herbal notes.
Flavor is herbal hoppy as hazy ipa often is. Good malty base. Citrus fruits from hops and bitttersweet almost dried fruity (dried banana chips) notes from malts. A bit brutal and unrefined / unbalanced

caned in san diego
very dark brown, almost pitch black, brown head that is bubbly and soon disappears.
boozy aroma, booze and vanilla dominates, then comes dark chocolate and some roasted malts and some coffee.
flavor is bitter coffee, roasted malts, pastry, faint dark caramel, dark chocolate - the roasted malts are low and instead we got bitter caramel, bit of coffee, note of vanilla, undefined boozy note - so boozy i'm almost associating rum to it. I like ordinary speedway stout WAY better.

pours brown with a large beige to light brown head. looks a bit like a Vienna.
aroma is nutty, chestnuts, roasted malts (not like a stout, more like a vienna) faint slightly sweet note like somewhere betweeen sweet nuts and flowers. very faint smoked malty note. If i had blindtested this, i would've guessed vienna.

flavor is sweet nutty, bitter nutty, toasted malty - but not overly sweet, also tastes like a vienna, only it's quite flavorful.

Roasted malts and peaches in the Aroma.

Flavor is roasted malts, faint peaches, dark dried fruits, faint dark chocolate

The peaches are felt throughout the tasting experience but they do not dominated.
Comes off as a bit boozy but nowhere nearly as much as expected. Alc well hidden

tap at taphouse,june 2025. Extremely solid chocolate aroma. Tons of layers of dark chocolate. Might be more chocolate than chocolate rain
The chocolate aroma is like heats of shredded 75% dark good chocolate.

Flavor is pastry and chocolate. Waffles and butter joint the party which is not too crowded. Aroma was the best with this one. Extraordinarily sweet and hard to find the roasted malty notes
Bottle from kihoskh, "2024 vintage"
aroma is heavy dark chocolate cake, chocolate cream, vanilla flavored pastry. cake frosting after a while. quite chocolate forward, but the chocolate cake kind of chocolate aroma. adjusted aroma from 8.5 to 7.5
poured extremely dark brown with a thick pour and settled pitch black with a dark brown head that did not last long. appearance changed from 6 to 7. Flavor is dark chocolate, dark chocolate dessert, peppery note that blends with the alcohol, some sweeter notes resembling the caramelish things in toblerone, cake frosting, the roasted malts are hard to find, drowned by all the chocolatey notes. although intense, the chocolate does not really taste gourmet or fine - also very faint but disturbing burnt or bitter caramelly notes. flavor changed from 6 to 7. soft velvety thick texture, stays at 8, overall increase from 7.0 to 7.5
serving changed from draft taphouse to bottle kihoskh

Aroma is dominated by a strong rye whiskey aroma, almost fruity, dark dried fruity but very clean. Subtile wood notes that and a bit of complexity
Flavor is rye whiskey, roasted malts, very very faint note of dark caramel, subtile notes from wood. Very clean, vurdering boring

Cellary yeasty citrus fruit peel aroma
Flavor is slightly soapy, yellow fruity, fruit peel, alc can be se seddel in a somewhat unsophisticated way, like the other flavors doesnt really match up. Very soft palate but the flavor is well Bülow what i had expected from rochefort
