A black beer with a beutiful head. It has an aroma of smoked malt. It has a very filling feel and a good taste of smoked malt. Definatly a beer I’ll have again.

(Bottle 33 cl) The blackest Stout in the world? Pitch black and completely opaque with a fine, creamy brown head. Incredibly potent and full-bodied yet very pleasant and drinkable. Light sweetness and only a vague bitterness - doesn’t have the ashy, dry bitterness often found in Stouts. Quite delicate. 230403

Sample of the 1999 version in March 2002: Dark black with beige head. The banana aroma is somewhat diminished if comparing to fresh samples. Full bodied and malty. Licorice flavour. Bitter finish. I’m not sure it gains so much on cellaring, so drink it when you can.

35.5 cL bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a huge and dense, creamy and light brown head. Mild roasted malt and chocolate aroma, mild hops note. Smooth roasted malt and chocolate flavours, shows an almost immediate acidic roasted note. Smooth chocolate flavours following. Nice stout, but falls a bit short compared to current imp. stouts.

Bottle. Black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, with dark chocalate hints. Flavor is somewhat weak for an imperial stout, with hints of dark chocalate, coffe, roasted malt. Finish is not that long, get more of a coffee flavor from the finish.
