| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 22, 2009 Bottle. It pours a black body under a dense, finger-thick tan head, looking really gorgeous. There’s some smoked notes in the aorma, almost like a blend of smoked fish and bacon, but in a nice way. Burnt malts, peat, some alcohol and sweetness as well. The flavor is rather sweet, with roasted, peaty malts and a faint note of vanilla. Full-bodied and pleasantly warming. Long finish with sweetness, burnt malts and a little vanilla. There’s some dms as well in the beer, but just a tiny touch of it, else it’s a quite wonderful one, sure didn’t expect this from Iceland a year ago. 090720 Kalli (480), Falun, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Aroma of milky coffee and smoke. Starts off with more milky coffee leading off into sweet, dark chocolate, smoke and alcohol. One of the sweeter and milder imperial stouts I recollect having, neither of which (the latter in particular) is something I seek out in a beer of that style.
Not really my thing, thus, but impressive that an Icelandic brewery did this. Not going for a more aggressive beer is probably a good decision when it comes to sales in the home market. Hopefully this paves the way for wilder stuff.
