Commercial Description:
"Double" (imperial) wheat stout.
This imperial really strikes back. From a strange country far, far away, comes the only Imperial Wheat Stout in the known universe. Once again, the ’Hand’ brewery - four guys brewing in their spare time, on an absurdly small scale - boldly goes where no brewery has gone before.
US version is 9%.

Picked this up at SuperBrugsen? supermarket Denmark and consumed at home Sun 05-10-08 Pours black with brown head. This beer is quite soft in the mouth, but bitterness quite full. Not much sweetness in this at all thoguh there is some quite crude cooking chocolate in there, but this is outweighed by the coffee. Maybe I wasn’t in a drinking mood tonight as I tired of this after a while and also became a bit fed up with this breweries Dobbel Dose that I had after. Really not a bad beer, in fact fine, its just I wasn’t really in the mood for it or it just wasn’t my thing.

Bottle shared with GMCC2181. Poured Black with tan head that lingered for a while. Aroma smelled like dirty hockey socks that Eric Lindros used to wear, not really sure. Taste was malty with liqourice and little hops. Finished with a hint of chocolate.

Bottle....weird aroma, that I cant put my finger on. Decent head, black in color. Good lacing. Taste is minor amount of chocolate, small amount of malt. Touch of hops. Different beer that is for sure, pretty good though.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. A wheat stout? How does that work? Pretty well. Pours a slightly transparent black with a decent cream white head. Malts take over the nose. Taste is very light and refreshing, slight coffee and hints af roasted or smoke flavors. You don’t taste any signs of wheat until the finish. A change of pace for the stout lover afraid to venture too far from home.

500ml bottle, Batch 90. Bottle conditioned. Served in a snifter. Poured a deep, opaque black/brown with a finger of tan head that quickly dissipates. Fruity aroma with some roasted malt and a little alcohol. Very full bodied with an almost syrupy mouthfeel. Plenty of roasted/chocolate malt flavor. Very little hop bitterness. There is bitterness from the roasted malt. Long dry finish of chocolate malt. Warming. Definitely a sipper. At the price, I don’t think it will be a regular. Interesting beer, that RIS fans should try.

Almost black color with huge and brown head. Aroma is roasted malty and alcoholic with some coffee and liquorice, too. Taste is very roasted with flavor of liquorice. Taste of alcohol disturbs a bit. Nice coffee in the finish. Very roasted but not too much. Quite easy for Imperial Stout but anyway delicious.

Bottle pours out a almost black topped with a nice tan head. Aroma of smoke and roast. Tast some coffee, smoke, roast, and a nice sweetness.
