Danish: En meget fyldig Russian Imperial Stout på 12% alk. Den er brygget i oktober 2008 af 7 af de bedste bryggere i Danmark, som en blanding af de 7 bryggeres egne opskrifter af øllen. Efter gæring har denne øl lagret 7 måneder på portvins fade fra vores venner i Niepoort. Resultatet er en meget fyldig øl, præget af portvinens sødme. Både duft og smag er domineret af druer, portvin, kaffe, chokolade og ristet lakrids. Kroppen opleves silkeblød, medium sød, og der følger en varm, lang eftersmag.

English: Seven Niepoort Barrel is a very rich imperial stout, brewed in October 2008 by 7 of the best brewers in Denmark by a pooling of their individual recipes for the beer. After primary fermentation, this fraction of the brew was racked into a port wine barrel from our friends at Niepoort. After 7 (!) months in the barrel, the beer is intensely full bodied, with rich port like sweetness. The aroma and flavour is dominated by ripe grapes, port, coffee, chocolate and liquorice roast characters. Silky smooth and full palate with a medium sweet, warming and long aftertaste.

It’s pitch black with a small, dark brown and creamy head. The aroma has notes of figs, licorice, chocolate, coffee and dark, ripe fruit. The flavor has a moderate sweetness and is vinous with notes of roasted malt, figs, coffee beans, chocolate, licorice and the long aftertaste has notes of licorice and it ends slightly bitter. It’s very lovely, and a bit more complex than the bordeaux barrel.

courtesy of Jespr - pours a dark black beer with a little foam left of dark beige colour; woody nose with notes of roasted malts, ashes and coffee; full malt backbone, very tasty and quite oily; solidly bitter; long bitter coffeish aftertaste with notes of licorice - a beautiful brew!

Bottle from Olbutikken. Black and opague. Porto, malt and raisin in the aroma. Hints of roast. Full bodied, thick mouthfeel. Porto flavor, alcoholic with raisin, grapes, aok, roast, ash, hint of licorice. Vinous notes. Silky smooth but also an alcoholic and vinous aftertaste. The porto barrel ageing really showes.

Thanks to NoLiberty for cracking this open via Shaun E. Hill... Appears a dark midnight with a small brown cap that seems to float forever. Spotty bits of lacing are left around the glass. Smell is of wood, cocoa, coffee, mineral water, dark bakers chocolate, mild roast, very mild hint of port. There’s also notes of yeasty bread ala freshly baked Portugese rolls. Taste is of the mentioned aromas with an obvious nod to the wood and roasty grains. Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied, slightly bitter, chewy, with a delicate finish.

Bottle shared via Alex (thanks!). Poured a dark and deep brown color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, licorice, dark fruits, lighter port, and roasty. Tastes of licorice, chocolate, roasty, the same lighter port, vanilla, and caramel. Nice.

Nice slick black looking with a small but dense brown head that actually leaves some lazings on my snifter. Aroma is heavy asphalt malty with lovely berry notes, light hops and heavy woody nots. Mouthfeel is creamy and thick with light carbonation, goes down like a dream. Flavour is intense of cold hard roasted coffe, dark bitter chocolate, berry sweetness with a touch of woody vanilla and additional fruit. Ends somewhat dry, bitter and very warming. Lovely balanced without losing character, this is huge.
