A pitch black beer with a disappearing tan head. Both the aroma is sweet with strong lovely notes of chocolate and coffee. A great Imperial Stout.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear and very dark mahogany with a warm, reddish glow. A light brown head. Lightly sweet aroma of roasted malt. Solid and full body with plenty, rather sweet malt that has a vague, burned edge. Almost candy like with a distinct prune character. 191206

Very dark brown colour. The aroma is chocolatey. Flavour is chocolatey as well, but also slightly hot, with a hint of roasty acidity coming in late. Roast character is mild and unconvincing. Oh well, it seems popular enough - just not for me.
