A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is very sweet and roasted with strong coffee notes, and the flavor is a little less sweet than the aroma indicates, but the roasted malt is more present in the flavor and again it has a strong coffee presence.

Bottled@Fonefan. Pitch black colour, big beigeish brown head. Aroma is licorice, alcohol, mild roastiness as well as some vanilla and cocoa. Flavour is licorice, alcohol, vanilla, dark dry fruits as well as some mild wooden and cocoalike notes. Strongflavoured, yet balanced imperial stout. Warms your guts, as well as all other intestines on the way down to the stomach.
