A nice "light" imperial. This beer pours deep brown with a huge head. Its nose is carmel with hints of belgium yeast. Taste is full bodied but light...kinda like a belgium tripple but with more complex darker flavors. Flavor lasts and wants you to drink more. All in all a nice beer when you want some of a stouts flavor with out the heaviness.

Red-brown pour, large fluffy cream head. Definitely Belgian nose of elderberry, chocolate, plum. and raisin. Heavy malt flavor, fruit, and light pepper. Lightly bitter, creamy finish. Not particularly interesting or poor, just middle of the road.

Let me begin by saying that this is not a stout. Brown pour, off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits and chocolate. The flavor is somewhat similar, though there is a strange hint of tropical fruit hopiness as well. Smooth. Pretty good brew.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Dark brown body with tall and lasting head. Sweet, caramel nose. Malty and very spicy taste with chocolate notes. ABV kicks in towards the end, warming.

From Voldby, DK. Bottled, 200909. Dark brown with beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and spices. Flavor is spiced with notes of dark fruit and liqourice.

Bottle. Love the label with a horse in a parachute! High fluffy and lasting off-white head leaving nice long lacings. Hazy dark red body. Malty straw aroma with a strange spicy note that I cannot quite figure out. Sweet malty flavor with a bit of liquorice and a dry bitterness as well as some spicy notes. Still cannot quite figure it out but not unpleasant. Low carbonation. Complex and long bittersweet aftertaste.

Pours a very dark brown almost black color with a HUGE frothy beige head that has excellent retention, only very slowly fading into a thick cap as it goes leaving chunks of lacing in it’s path. Hoppy aroma with some dark fruit notes. Spicy presence with hints of pepper, lemon zest, cinnamon and mint. Very strange considering this is an Imperial Stout. Smells more like an DIPA. Very hoppy up front with a strong peppery spice note, chocolate malt, dark fruit followed by a strong zesty/peppery spiciness and a very hoppy dry finish. Not your typical imperial stout.
