COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
With more than 20 speciality, two separate mashes and three Oak varieties, this is one one of the most ambitious recipes we've ever attempted. Expect caramel, honey, nuttiness, chocolate, coffee and subtle smokiness all coming through with refined depth. Rich residual sugars balance with oak tannins to keep the beer drinkable, moreish and spectacularly flavoursome.

Defreni (4870) - Husum, DENMARK - JAN 7, 2022
UPDATED: JAN 7, 2022 Fad: Ekstrem velafbalanceret imperial stout. Farven er brunsort. En del lakrids og let kaffe i duften. Smagen er en god blanding af amerikansk style og engelsk style, med en fin humling og lakridsnoter. Lækker øl.

lmlikesstout (429) - Andover, Hampshire, UK, ENGLAND - DEC 23, 2021
UPDATED: DEC 23, 2021 Siren Advent Calender 2021 (Day 23); Can 440ml (BB: 29/06/22); Look: jet black/very dark brown with a dense dark tan head. Low carbonation. Some nice lacing. Aroma: chocolate, caramel, coffee, smokey, slightly savoury Body: thick end of medium Taste: chocolate, caramel, coffee, tastes like oil smells (weird I know, but a taste reminiscent of standing by a petrol pump), smokey, savoury wood Overall: complex is an understatement. I love it. Not sweet, which is a rarity these days for imperial stouts. Warming, and yet alcohol is hidden by the depth of malt flavour

UPDATED: DEC 17, 2021 From can, opaque extremely dark brown colour, lots of toastiness, bittersweet and milk chocolate, dates, wax and some oakiness, charred bitterness, espresso, a bit oily, light to medium sweetness. Very good and enjoyable.

jjsint (6133) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 5, 2021
UPDATED: DEC 5, 2021 Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Dark brownand opaque with a thin film of beige head and lots of lacing. Big dark malts in the aroma, some treacle, some yeast extract. Bittersweet taste with notes of salted caramel and soured stone fruit lead to an intense bitter hoppy finish. Light salted notes in aftertaste. Wow. One hell of a beer.

colui72 (3437) - Yuen Long, HONG KONG - OCT 10, 2021
UPDATED: OCT 10, 2021 This beast went through 3 barrels, or better said, it's a blend of the same brew aged in 3 different barrels. Aroma is roasty, oaky, chocolaty, nutty, coffee notes, some smoke. A jet black pour, with a creamy, persistent, tan head and abundant laces on the glass. Bitter, roasty, coffee, dark chocolate, nutty, burnt caramel, smoky, wood and leather notes. Very low sweetness, deep, robust and layered. Pillowy mouthfeel, creamy, full bodied, low carbonation, alcohol warmth. A very solid, robust and enjoyable Imperial Stout, on the Russian side. A brew for adults.

4.1
snowcrash000 (1790) - Cologne, GERMANY - SEP 18, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 18, 2021 Pours a pitch-black coloration with a medium, creamy, moccha-colored head. Smells of roasted, caramel malt, some chocolate and hints of coffee and licorice, as well as some distinct woody accents. Taste is a great balance of roasted, caramel malt, strong milk chocolate and lighter coffee, licorice and brown sugar, as well as some tobacco and distinct woody accents, with hints of oak and cedar wood. Finishes bittersweet, with a light bitterness and some chocolate, brown sugar and woody accents lingering in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a rich body and light/medium carbonation. Gawd, I really haven't been able to grab a proper Imperial Stout in way too long and this certainly fits the bill very nicely, with quite a strong depth of character and rich body and mouthfeel. While it's just a tad too sweet and boozy for my personal taste, it's really not that bad and there still a great balance of sweet and roasted, slightly bitter notes going on here, with the milk chocolate and brown sugar being most pronounced, but being balanced by the coffee, licorice and tobacco, while those woody accents really add a certain complexity here. Overall, this makes for a very enjoyable, quite warming, rich and satisfying Imperial Stout that is best sipped slowly in front of a roaring fireplace.
