3.8 Can. Blackish coloured beer with a strong brown coloured smooth foamy head. The aroma is lightly roasted with some milkyness, and the flavour is quite strongly coffee roasted with a milky and bitter finish. Overall a nice strong stout.

3.9 Can (E.D. #126): As black as expected, small persistent tanned foamy layer, rich nose sweet-bitter of liquorice, dark to toasted malt and dried berries; solid sweet bitter flavour, full bodied, silky MF; lingering sweet and mildly bitter finish, same flavours as in the aroma plus a mild and warming alcohol-burn in the aftertaste. A very pleasant winter-warmer...

3.5 Nu gillar jag ju imperial 😉

3.7 On tap at Christian Firtal. Black with a small off-white head. Roasted aroma with licorice, chocolate and soy sauce. Sweet roasted flavour with licorice in particular.

3.7 Can from Speciaalbier Café De Markies, Leeuwarden. Aroma is roasted malt with chocolate, coffee, liquorice, and espresso. Moderate sweet flavour, roasty bitterness. Body is medium to full. Good basic Imperial Stout, roasty, some liquorice. Expected a bit more, but good.

3.7 Tap at Woodworkers. Dark black pour small head. Nose is chocolate and roasty. Tastes of plum, chocolate, soy sauce, roast and char. Smoky finish. Smooth palate. Not too sweet and quite smooth.

3.2 Nothing wrong with this one. But not really exciting either Very mild and easy drinkable impy Well balanced sweetness and a well masked alcohol level Dangerously easy drinkable But felt actually a bit thin. Chocolate and dark malt dominated beer [Can from Systembolaget Nordstan in Gothenburg, Sweden]

4.2 Svart trög. Inget skum. Dov doft smak rök, pump, alkohol, choklad efter.

3.8 Zapach średnio intensywny, paloność, kakao, czekolada, karmel, lukrecja. Kolor czarny, nieprzejrzyste. Piana brązowa, niska, drobna, średnio trwała, zdobi szkło. W smaku słodkie, pełne, paloność, czekolada, kawa, karmel, suszone owoce, lukrecja. Goryczka średnia, wysycenie niskie.

4.2 Nez: Chocolat noir, fruits à coque, fruits secs Bouche: Chocolat noir, pruneau, noisette, vanille, épicée, alcool Un Impé Stout, liquoreux, avec de grosses notes de chocolat noir amer et de pruneau avec une pointe de noisette. Le final, plutôt sec et avec une belle longueur, est sur des notes épicées et de vanille avec une pointe d'alcool. Avis: Un Impé Stout bien gras comme j'aime. La version BA doit être bien sympa.

4.0 Wow. Øl fra øverste hylde. Masser af fylde og bitterhed. God aroma. Velsmagende

3.6 33cl bbAPR2023 from BXXBeerFest18. - - Wet umami oilsand Scandi-liquorice permeate this otherwise lean and classical ImpStout with modern hopbitter flourishes. Cocoa and coffee are there subdominant, underneath is a hard to fathom undergrowth of paprika and drop-candy. Some abv, otherwise well-managed, not a favourite.

3.8 0,3 litre Can from Systembolaget Charlottenberg. Black with little brown head. Roasted malts, coffee, Chocolate and some sweetness.

3.7 Can of 33cl, in a Tumbler glass; from the fridge (with little warming beforehand). A enjoyable dark Imperial stout with notes of cocoa and coffee. The aroma is more on the coffee, and the taste a little bit more on the chocolate side. Will drink again.

3.9 F: big, tanned, good retention. C: black, opaque. A: a lot of cocoa, chocolate, bit coffee, bit caramel, toffee, bit smoky. T: dark chocolate, cocoa, bit smoky, caramel, bit toffee, dry on the palate, rich malty taste, alcohol is well hidden, not very complex yet enjoyable for sure, full body, medium carbonation, fully enjoyed, 33cl can from BXLBeerFest 2018 in Brussels.

3.5 1 finger dark beige head. Pitch black beer. Aroma is salt liquorice, soy, smoked charcuterie, toffee, dark chocolate, slight vanilla and dark roast coffee. Taste is similar but even more focus on the smoked goods and the overall darkness. Mouthfeel is semi-thick yet still manages to feel somewhat light in body. Pretty sticky. Medium to medium-high roasted bitterness. Low carbonation. Overall: Very nice smoked Impy. I held this in high regard the first time I tried it some years ago but it held up. Didn't remember it as being this smokey but very nice nevertheless.
