Smuttynose Imperial Stout

Bottle: Near black pour with a finger of creamy brown head. Nose is simple and intense with roastiness, chocolate, and an overal sweetness. Tastes rich in roast, coffee, and chocolate. A faint bit of smoke with bitters in the trailer. Smooth, balanced, and rich in flavor. Huge. Thanks to my secret santa from last year!

Courtesy of Nate. Pours dark black color with a 1 finger dark beige head. Lasts only a few seconds. Aroma is sweet with a carbonic bite and a very noticeable hop character. A deep burnt caramel and coffee flavor. A little plum and bitter chocolate as well. The bitterness in the flavor is huge, like really dark roasted black coffee. The body is rich and creamy. Leaves a very dry bitterness on the tongue.

From bomber. Has a quite hoppy nose with some grapefruit. Chocolate and mild coffee. Licoric and alcohol, oak, and vanilla. Nice aroma. Bit of carbonic gaseousness. One of the hoppiest impys I’ve had. Dark, dark brown-black with cocoa tan lacing head. Heavy oily body with medium carbonation. Nice alcoholic warming. Starts heavy and sweet with chocolate and caramel. Light licorice, alcohol. This is really a great impy stout. A bit hot, vinuous and sweet. Medium bitter finish and warming after. Well done.

Pours black, with a thick, creamy light brown head. Smells pretty rich and roasty, good bit of chocolate, touches of dark fruit, and oak are also present. The flavor is also on the roastier side, with lots of chocolate malt and coffee making their presence known. Just a big, rich imperial stout just the way I like them. The alcohol was noticeable, but not over the top, and the flavor on this one was quite delicious. I enjoyed it very much.

Bottle at Sune’s (Thanks). Black - brown head. Burned, dry burned, licorice, high hoppy, chocolate, coffee, piney, grassy. Fantastic.

@ home with the club. Vintage 2006. Pours black with no head. Full flavoured and sweet. Aromas of burnt malts and some coffee and hints of alcohol. Nice strong hoppyness. Reminds me a bit of a Stout-IIPA mix. The strong hopsaromas surprice me. Good.

22oz bottle. Pours viscous looking black with a small, light brown head. Smells dark and sweet malty, slightly roasty but not overwhelming. Tastes nice and sweet malty with a lingering roasty malt flavor. There is a nice, mellow, earthy hop backbone as well. Very nice, very complex, great tasting stout. Full body, good carbonation.

Sune-drengen er på banen med denne øl. Sort, sort......... karamelfarvet skum. Superlækker duft og smag af bitter choko, kaffe , kaffegrums og brændte noter. Denne flaske er fra 2006 og har ligget i Sunes køleskab lige siden. Utroligt, jeg havde drukket den.
