Colorado Vintage Black Rapadura
Tipicamente inglês, o estilo Imperial Stout tem normalmente generoso teor alcoólico, e como deve ser a Black Rapadura da Colorado terá 10,5% de álcool. O produto foi elaborado com rapadura escura e os melhores maltes ingleses selecionados para fazer com que essa cerveja evolua em sabor por até dois anos, se guardada em lugar escuro e fresco.
Inspirada na Fullers Vintage, uma cerveja inglesa de receita também variante e de tiragem limitada, a Black Rapadura vem agregar ainda mais valor ao portifolio tipicamente brasileiro da Cervejaria Colorado, que já conta com a Colorado Appia (Weiss com Mel), Colorado Cauim (Pilsen com Mandioca), Colorado Demoiselle (Porter com Café) e Colorado Índica (India Pale Ale com Rapadura).
A diferenciação entre os dois produtos Colorado que levam Rapadura em sua formulação, além do estilo adotado, está também na concentração de lúpulo, 40 de IBU (unidades internacionais de amargor) da Indica contra 60 da Black Rapadura.

On tap at the PIB. Pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head. A big licorice nose, some toast and apples. Cocoa, figs, caramel, more licorice, smoke, some yeast. Quite nice.
Labeled as ithaca. Too bad this is In Bev now. Would’not have bought had I known thought it’s a food beerr. Roast cocoa dried fruit lactose . Nice imperial stout.
Bottle at PIB 2016, pours a red-tinted dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma brings out lots of dark fruits, some sherry oxidation and a touch of roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of dark fruits and sherry oxidation. A little off but still pleasant. Okay.
Draught at Delirium Cafe, Brussels. Opaque black beer with a nice beige head. Cocoa aroma, chocolate, licorice, fruity, raisins, caramel, some tar. Roasted chocolate flavor, licorice, caramel, raisins and figs, some warming alcohol. Ful bodied and quite nice.
sample at mondial de la bière, mtl. unclear dark brown pour with a very nice reviving light beige head, nice lacing. lots of burnt caramel maltiness, coffee roastiness, sweet coffee, burnt sugars, never ashy though, star anise, other spices, some wooden ones as well; clean yeast. moderate carbonation, light to medium body - oily; warming if not a bit boozy spicy finish. a rather spicy and burnt caramel-driven stout.
600 ml bottle with a production date that I can’t decipher.
Pours a near pitch black with an inch of tan foam. Minimal lacing.
The smell is fruity, roasty, very sweet from the malt and cane sugar. I can’t not mention how up in my nose the alcohol is.
Roasted malt, chocolate, sugary sweet malt, hints of licorice in the taste along with a strong alcohol presence. Something tells me that this isn’t the freshest bottle out there but perhaps that’s a good thing.
Full bodied with medium carbonation.
Despite the strong alcohol notes, I’m enjoying the slow sips that I am taking.
Tap @ Hoppy Loft, Brussels 20160506. Roasted malty, caramely and sweet, sweet coffee. The finish is roasted and sweet.

On bottle from Vinmonopolet Aker Brygge, oktober 2015 as Ithica. High aroma intensity; roasty, leather, choclate, malty, dried fruits. Full body and high complexity. A little om the sweet side, god bitterness- balances well.very enjoyable
Black, heavy palate. Some anise, toast and heavily roasted malt. Alcohol is noticeable but does not hurt the flavor.this is surprisingly good.
Bottle shared at tasting. Dark caramel brown pour. Sweet molasses and booze aroma. Taste pretty much follows, kind of a metallic taste, black licorice. Pretty good.
Shared 20 oz. bottle. As Colorado Guanabara. Pours almost black with a beige head. Nose is roasted malt, chocolate, alcohol, and dark berries. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate and molasses with hints of coffee and dark fruits. Improves as it warms. Easily the best beer of the 3 we’ve had from this brewery.
Aroma: chocolatey, a little burned; good; Appearance: thick tan head over a pitch black body; Taste: extremely sweet and reminiscent of the honey beer; some underlying bitterness and roastiness; Palate: heavy mouthfeel with long, sweet finish; Overall: better than expected; probably wouldn’t buy again due to better alternatives.
Bottle from Gold Rush Liquors in Anchorage. Colour...dark brown with a thick tan head. Nose...burnt sugar, molasses and turbinado. Palate...a bit thin for an impy stout, but quite flavourful with robust charred sugars, over cooked molasses, burnt Devils food cake and anise infused chocolates. The finish is long and broad shouldered.
Quite black. Thick beige head. Thick. Chocolate. Black cherries. Cola. Somewhat harsh at first, but then smooths out as you chew on it.
Fra flaske på årets siste Mi2, Cardinal des-15: brunsvart med storboblet beige skum. Nydelig aroma og smak av knekk, godt modne solbær, litt kaffe og mørk malt. Superb balanse, tørr og alng avslutning. Perfekt profylakse etter 11 dager på SUS. Kanskje jeg kan få den på blå resept og frikortet?
