maxbeer (117), Italy Apr 7, 2008 Roasted aroma, coffee but also alcohol, spirit; burnt; classic Imperial Stout nose.In the mouth all the shades of caramel-roasted, big body but not as exaggerately thick as som US IS, more winey; alcohol. Bitter finish. IMO an english style Imperial stout. on the line of Harveys/Courage Russian stouts... quite a challenging comparison!
JorisPPattyn (4690), Antwerpen, Belgium Mar 3, 2008 Black, viscous pouring beer with no head to speak of. Concentrated coffee, aged in brandy barrel, very complex. Liquid black chocolate, with a dash of expensive brandy, cacao powder with coffee to round it off (like cappucino the other way round). Superbly viscous alcohol to a bomb, wow! <i> Caro Massimo! Stop making light beers. Your destination lies in the higher alcohols - like this. It rocks! Mille grazie for the tasting! </i>
