Commercial Description:
Imperial Stout is a silky smooth, very flavorful black brew. It is a traditional style of strong stout originally brewed in Britain for export to St. Petersburg, Russia. The malty sweetness of the beer is tempered by a medley of roasted malt and the aggressive use of hops. A long conditioning time gives the brew time to mellow and mature. The beer is not filtered, allowing every subtlety and nuance to be enjoyed.

A red-brown beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with roasted notes as well as notes of chocolate and hints of coffee. The flavor is sweet roasted with notes of alcohol.

(Bottle 65 cl) Beautiful reddish brown with tiny, stale impurities. Creamy, light brown head. Very malty, spicy sweet nose. Nice, full vinous body with wonderful roasted malt and sweet caramel. Dry, roasted bitterness. Incredibly delicate. 031205

CBF07 sample from 22 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a whuite head. Aroma of dark coffee. Flavour is chocolate and coffee, some hops, but nothing that brakes the dark notes. Finish is long and dark, again not really hoppy. Dry finish

Bottle @ home.
Clear dark black color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light brown head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, coffee, moderate hoppy, light alcohol and english licorice. Initail flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter, finish flavor is moderate sweet and biiter with a average to long duration, and a dry almost dusty finish. (Bitternes is both malt and hops). Body is medium, texture is oily and smooth, carbonation is soft. Very easy to drinke. (240408)
