UPDATED: DEC 24, 2021 Pours pitch black with light brown head. Nice nose in roasted malts and coffee. Medium mouthfeel with slightly bitter coffee and roasted malts, dark chocolate, also some sweetness. Complex and very balanced.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2021 Can. Pours dark red-black with a thin short-lived tan head. Very boozy aroma, roast, some chocolate, yeast extract. Quite sweet, mild burnt bitterness, dark fruit. Full body, soft carbonation, silly smooth with a lingering sweet roasty finish.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2021 One pint can. Pours a completely opaque black with a big brown head. Lacing. Smells of chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Sweet espresso flavors with bitter ashy side of the tongue finish and alcohol warming. Substantial body and oily mouthfeel. Serious stout.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2021 Barwa czarna, piana niska, głównie w formie pierścienia. W aromacie owoce leśne, śliwka, marcepan, praliny, kawa. W smaku kawa właśnie na pierwszym planie, zaraz potem spora paloność, gorzka czekolada, przypieczona skórka chleba razowego, toffi, w tle wyraźny, ale przyjemny akcent alkoholowy. Raczej wytrawne, ciało średnie z plusem, wysycenie niezbyt wysokie. Świetne piwo, ciężko o coś więcej bez beczki.

UPDATED: SEP 17, 2021 Wygląd: Barwa czarna, nieprzejrzysta. Piana brązowa, średniowysoka, głównie drobnopęcherzykowa, po chwili opada do pierścienia, pozostawia lekki lacing. Po zamieszaniu szkłem zauważalna lekko oleista ciecz. Aromat: Niezbyt złożony. Dominuje dobrej jakości kawa, kawa z odrobiną mleka na średniowysokim poziomie. Kawa wsparta średnim toffi, biszkoptem, ciastkami oraz lekkim karmelem. W tle subtelny alkohol oraz nuta wanilii. Smak: Na pierwszym planie kawa, kawa z odrobiną mleka na średnim poziomie oraz średnioniski, półszlachetny alkohol. Dalej biszkopt, ciastka, herbatniki, toffi oraz nuta jasnego karmelu na średnioniskim poziomie. W ustach półwytrawne, treściwość średnia, gładka i aksamitna, wysycenie niskie, średnioniskie rozgrzewanie alkoholu. Goryczka niska, gorzkiej czekolady z alkoholem, krótka. Finisz wytrawny, gorzkiej czekolady, kawy i alkoholu. Ogólnie: Przyjemnie i niespotykanie gładkie, kawa jest wyraźna, a zarazem wtapia się w całość - sprawia wrażenie mlecznej. Zdecydowanie brakuje większej złożoności.

1 pint can. Pours opaque black. Thin, tan head. Light body. Lightly carbonated. Malty. Unsweetened cocoa and Black coffee. Very dry. Sweet with a subtle, slightly bitter finish. An odd, somewhat metallic aftertaste. My wife thought so too. Maybe because it’s from a can? Alcohol is well hidden. Very drinkable. A solid brew. July 2021. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: JUN 6, 2021 500 ml can. Chocolate, caramel and malts. Dark low head. Complex taste, alcohol in the end. Good, but not unforgetable good as expected.

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2021 Black, deep and dark, completely opaque body topped by a khaki head, tall with excellent retention, thick and creamy. A thick wall of lacing is left as it does recede. Aroma is not strong: roasted coffee, chocolate, and slightly sweet. Initial taste is vanilla, followed by roasted coffee, then chocolate, then the bitterness from the hops. All of this intermingles nicely throughout. The underlying sweetness of the malts is never more than a background foundation. The foremost flavors are the interacting of chocolate and roasted coffee. The finish is bitter, with the aftertaste being somewhat sweet and bitter with roasted coffee. The bitterness and the roasted malts linger. This is a big beer, but, apart from the expected effects, the alcohol does not become obvious until near the end, when the beer has become well-warmed to room temperature, and even then, it is just a bit of warming at the finish. The mouth feel is smoothly creamy and moderately thick. Overall, excellent. The story of this beer is complex malty goodness with coffee. The coffee is not overbearing and integrates nicely into the other flavors.

UPDATED: MAY 28, 2021 Wow. I never knew what I was missing out on It's a beer you can just sip in tiny quantities til the end of the universe. Vanilla, coffee, buttery pastry. It's all there on the nose with some honey, raisins and spice. It coats the tongue and - despite all of that alcohol - goes down smoothly. It's quite something.

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2021 Botella de 75 cl. Fecha de embotellado desconocida. Color negro opaco con ligera carbonatación y escasa espuma. Aroma a café, cacao, caramelo, regaliz. Sabor a cacao, regaliz, frutos secos y por supuesto café. Buen cuerpo con gran equilibrio y sedosa, alcohol bien oculto, deliciosa, grandiosa imperial stout!
