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%.

Thanks for sharing, Mark. The body was black with and orange brown head. The aroma was pancakes and milk chocolate with some plums. The taste was milk chocolate with some light pancakes. There was also some almond character. Nicely made.

Exceptional looking pour with a very thick, long lasting creamy brown head that never went a way and laced the glass all the way down. Pitch black. Full bodied and very flavorful without over-top-bitterness. Alcohol very well hidden. The wheat must make it slightly softer and smoother than typical RISs.

Bottled. Black, brown head. Sweat flavour. (mild notes of wheat?). Pleasant aroma, not to firm, malty. Wheat. Salty. Anise. Lingers on to a slightly bitter, lasting finish where burnt and hoppy tones integrate. Very good.

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.
