4.5De Mikkeller. En copa Teku. Jugando a Slay the Spire, luego viendo Desencanto 2x01y luego MR Robot 2x01. Aunque no se le nota el cafe y se sube a la cabeza bastante, tiene un excelente fondo chocolatoso con feel ligero. El cafe no se lo noto
4.3Wspomnienia z degustacji podczas epickiego panelu który odbył się 14.09.2019 r. :)
3.9Dark oil black very creamy viscous head. Aromas brownie, biscuit, coffee, slight booze, bread, toffee, caramel. Flavors toffee, biscuit, yeast, bread, slight booze in nose, slight, slight coffee, vanilla. High sweetness slight smoke. Pretty good and should be good for aging.
3.8[Can (1 pint) shared with HogTownHarry, jercraigs & mabel -- c/o j&m] Pours a very dark brown with a semi-lasting frothy light-brown head. Almost oily-looking. Aroma is roasty along with sweet molasses, coffee, chocolate, nuts and light hops. Flavour (7+) is malty, chocolaty, nutty and hoppy. Oily mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Really good.
4.6Ah, look at that huge fluffy brown head! Gorgeous on its black body, and laces like cappuccino froth! Sweet aroma of dark malts, caramel, toffee, chocolate and bread. Tastes sweet, with a bitter-ish after taste that recalls roasted cocoa nibs, the rest is all about the aromas above come up to life and throw a party in your mouth, for un unforgettable porter! And how smooth and creamy it feels! Amazing in the years!
4.3Meget mørk brun/sort, ganske tynd mocca skum som hurtigt svinder helt. Aroma er fyldig mørk malt, lidt kaffe, chokolade karamel. Smagen er ligeledes fyldig, kaffe, karamel, chokolade, lidt sprittet (cognac agtigt), vanilje kun en snært.. lidt sød ikke meget bitterhed. Lækker
4.0Imperial Doughnut Break, имперский портер 11,5% ABV, от бруклинской пивоварни Evil Twin, сваренный на Westbrook Brewing. В бокале – черное пиво, с высокой, но быстро исчезающей темно-коричневой пеной, со временем растворяющейся без остатка. В аромате кофе, ваниль, карамель. Тело резковатое, со средней карбонизацией, умеренно ликерное. Вкус орехово-сливочный, ноты молочного шоколада, бурбона, кофе и чернослива. В послевкусии ореховая горчинка и кофе. На мой вкус несколько резковато, немного бы поплотнее, но в целом очень достойно – 4,0.
4.3Burk 475 ml. Svart med ett gräddigt brunt skum. Utsökt. Dofter av plommon i konjak, rostad malt, kaffe och dadlar. Smakinslag av kaffe, mörk choklad, karamell, torkad frukt, mörk sirap och mörkt bröd. Oljig munkänsla. Sirapssötma i eftersmaken, men alls inte för sött trots detta. Läckert.
3.9Can from Bottlecraft, Hanley. Pours a deep brown colour with a thin mocha head. Aroma of nougat, bready malts, some chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, slight vanilla, liquorice, a hint of earth and subtle soy sauce. Taste of nougat, chocolate donut, coffee, slight roasted malts, a hint of vanilla, liquorice and subtle maple. Medium bodied and moderate carbonation. A sweetish, chocolate doughnut finish. Probably the closest you can get to a chocolate covered doughnut on a glass. It doesn’t live up to the hype and expectations it set out from the price, description and reviews, but as an imperial stout, it’s very, very good.
3.9Oh ripe fruit aroma boogie. Taste continues this. Also coffee bean and leather. Licorice. Well plum. Sweeet. Perfect easy dessert, smooth.
4.3Kicsi, tartós hab, fekete szín. Csokis, kakaós, kávés, vaníliás illat, némi mandulás beütéssel. Kekszes, csokis, kávés, kakaós ízek, markáns vaníliás, mandulás aromákkal. Picit édeskés, testes, alig szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Nagyon finom desszertsör, jól eltalált arányokkal.
4.0Burk i min trädgård. Doftar svagdricka med en viss melass-sötma. Smaken så balanserad med sötma som från sherry. Här ligger kaffe o vanilj men inte för mycket. Krämig med små bubblor som snabbt försvinner. Eftersmaken lång som sig bör. God
4.0Burk hos PQ. Färg meningslös är ju en Imp Svart öl. Doftar porter, hav, torr rostad malt. I munnen omdelbart känns små fina porlande bubblor👍. Smakar vanilj och rostad malt samt tydligt kaffe och nötter. Välbalanserad jävel med tidigare beskrivna smaker hela vägen till avslutet. Bra Imp Stout igen av Elaka Twin. Lite för torr och mye kaffe för få bättre betyg.
3.52 finger tan head that dissipates somewhat quickly.
Almost black with a very deep brown hue to it.
Aroma is specialty coffee, vanilla, nougat, hint of manure, coca cola, peanuts, nutmeg and a hint of clove.
Taste is toasted peanuts, dark chocolate, coffee grounds, vanilla, brown sugar and coca cola here aswell.
Mouthfeel is rather thick and very oily. Really sticky. Not that heavy in spite of this and that's for me where I draw the line between Porter and Stout. Medium-high coffee bitterness. Low carbonation. A bit short but no hints of alcohol. Drinks surprisingly easily.
Overall: Good but not really worth the price, not that the price is a factor in a beer rating. It's just too plain compared to what the name advertises to you, or maybe the standard has just gone up to very high levels. According to me, the most impressive part of this is the lightness and the complete abscence of alcohol in taste.
4.1Can. Aroma- mega sweet composition of vanilla, coffee, sweet chocolate and something like a baked dessert (doughnuts???). Intensive and very tempting. Dark brown, unclear, with a low, brown, short-lasting head. Taste- feels like a fantastic dessert. You can find vanilla and coffee, which play very well together, also great chocolate and bready/cookie note in the background. In the background, there's also nice smooth note, probably from almonds. Alcohol well hidden, just very delicate warming in the throat. Delicate roastiness. Medium-bodied, with a low carbonation. World class beer.
4.10,475 litre Can from Systembolaget Charlottenberg. Black with light brown head. Roasted malts, coffee, vanilla, some sweetness and bitterness.
4.1Opaque black color with small tanned head. Aroma has caramel, dark malt, syrup, vanilla and sweet fruity notes .Taste is malty sweet with long sweet aftertaste. Flavors of caramel, dark malt, syrup, dark fruits, coffee and vanilla.
4.0Piwo smoliście czarne, z beżową pianą. W aromacie dużo czekolady, czuć migdały, wanilię, jakby lukier. W smaku dominuje czekolada, czuć kawę, poza tym wanilia, polewa czekoladowa, migdały. Alkoholu nie czuć. Gęstość spoko. Bardzo dobre piwo.
4.4Aroma: huge coffee, batter and rich cocoa fruit cake
App: pitch black, dark tan head and sheet lacing
Flavour: sweet rich choc donut dipped in espresso infused imperial stout
Palate: lingering coffee and sweet stout somehow with blended hop
4.5(nez plein de choses (ads), bouche onctuo-sensuelle, tout est super bien dosé-calculé, ~lack de charme, nickel)
3.9Black with little brown head. Aroma is nutpeel, chocolate, vanilla, syrup, nice and complex. Taste is surprisingly sweet, a tiny little hinge of nutpeel bitterness. Tasty and enjoyable. Balanced. Good.
3.5Can Black, brown head. Soy, dust, roast and sugar aroma. Medium full sweet body, coffee, maple/pancake sirup, super sweet, roast chocolate and coffee retronasal.
3.7Can. Black color with beige head. Aroma is vanilla, almonds, soy sauce, some coffee yeah. Taste is booze, chocolate, almonds, vanilla, soy sauce, very sweet. Silky mouthfeel with fine- bubbled high carbonation. Tasty!
3.3Can bought in Chandler AZ. Super black, almost no head. Sweet spicy umami aroma. Flavor is a sweet soy punch, smooth, bitter almond aftertaste. Strangely I don't taste much doughnut in there.
4.2No hay mejor manera de empezar el mes de febrero 2019. Lata 50 CL en el Gato que bebía cerveza Valladolid tomada 01..02..2019. Lote 2550 2551 fcpref 03..01..2018.
Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco casi por completo.
Sabores intensos, maltosos tostados con una buena dosis de dulces y cereales. Ligero dulzor de golosina y repostería. Cacaos y vainillas en buena dosis también.
Cuerpo intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio, bastante sabor, de trago bastante lento. Densa y sedosa.
En fin bastante buena para repetir sin duda alguna, un cervezon.
3.72019-01-30. Black lightly oily body with a small brown head. 3+ Aroma has interesting dusty roast, cocoa, lightly sugary. Flavour has lightly syrupy dark malt. Lightly bitter cocoa notes. Smooth average plus bodied palate, soft carbonation. Nice but doesn't quite come together how I was hoping. 7/3-4/7/3-4/16 Can from LCBO, Toronto.
3.8Can at a tasting,thanks! Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of prunes, chocolate, pralines. Sweet, chocolate, vanilla, honey, raisins, tea, prunes.
Medium-full bodied, oily. Very good.
4.3Very heavy & sweet, but solid dessert porter.Maybe a bit too sweet & malty
4.1473ml can. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, coffee, nuts. Taste is rich, sweet, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, roast malts, nutty, not sure I get doughnuts specifically but I can see how people might say that. Full body, soft carbonation. Not their best but delicious nonetheless.
4.1478ml can from The Beerhive.
Thin tan head, decent lacing. Dark brown-black body. Nose is chocolate, pastry and vanilla. Flavour is cream, strong chocolate syrup, sweet dough. Light carbonation, thick oily mouthfeel, syrupy. Great big stout, most enjoyable.
