Commercial Description:
Imperial Stout – 10,2% vol. Twice the amount of dark roasted malts used, massive Imperial stout. This is a mad one. Black brown colour with a thick and creamy tan head that can be added to as you wish if you give the bottle a swirl. Give this beer time to breathe and blossom into something truly stunning. Chocolate and alcohol are right there at the front but do not at all overpower the gorgeousness that is underneath. Full of leather, vanilla, amazing wooden notes, beautifully floral character from the hops, thick Belgian chocolate, much character. The flavour of crazy wooden tartness. An extremely bitter finish seems to come out of nowhere and is what really makes this quite unique. Superb width in the mouth and coats the whole palate beautifully.

Bottle, bought @ the brewery. Deep dark brown color, almost opague. Roast, cream, ash, coffee and dark chocolate in the aroma. Full bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Firm roast and hopbitter flavor, almost pushing away the dark chocolate and coffee flavors. Long and firm roastbitter finish. Warm and inviting.

Draught at KØ09. Black colour, seems a little muddy. The flavour is roasted with a little grain bitter. A little sweetness, hint of yeast. Faint smoke note in the finish rounding off the beer.

CBF09. From tap. Pours pitch black with no head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Roasted malt, dense alcohol and very bitter coffee and dark chocolate flavoured. Bitter and acidic dry finish with a lasting chocolate flavour.

Bottled. Dark color, short off-white head. Aroma of heavy roasted malt, some burned wood, coffee, black chocolat. Very chocolatey taste, roasted malt, wooden tartness indeed. Very nice I would say.
