Danish: Imperial Stout er en mørk og fyldig øl med et flot mørkt cremefarvet skum. Den er brygget af flere ristede malttyper, og så er den lagret på egetræ, hvilket bidrager til dens kraftige krop. Imperial Stouten har en stærk, stigende eftersmag af kaffe, bitter chokolade og vanille.

English: Imperial Stout is a dark and rich beer with a beautiful dark cream coloured head. It’s brewed from several types of roast malts and conditioned on oak, which adds to the heavy body. The Imperial Stout has a strong and growing aftertaste of coffee, bitter chocolate and vanilla. Suited for game, strong cheeses and chocolate desserts. Or may be enjoyed alone in a cognac snifter in front of the fireplace.

On tap @Ølbaren - Aarhus Streetfood.
Pours deep red, almost black, with tanned head.
Scent: Caramel, yeast, chocolate.
Taste: Roasted malts, caramel, chocolate.
Texture: High co2, quite thin.
Piwo ciemnobrunatne, piana drobna, szybko opada do obrączki. Aromat to ciemne słody, karmel, ciemny owoce, w tle kawa. Raczej słodki. W smaku lukrecja, karmel, ciemne słody, dosyć porterowy, trochę śliwki w czekoladzie. Na finiszu solidna paloność, alkoholowe grzanie. Dość niskie nasycenie, ciało średnie->pełne, w posmakach kawa i karmelowo-czekoladowa słodycz. Przyjemne piwo.
Pours black with one finger light tan head. Aroma is molasses, light cocoa and roast. Taste is brown sugar, moving to vanilla, roast, wood and light licorice. Finish is roast and wood. A good imperial stout.
Dsrk and with dark nose and heavy nose full of sweet sugar hints. Taste is molasses and some salmiak. Palate short but salty.
En af de bedste imp stouts på markedet
Barwa czarna, nieprzejrzysta, piana średniopęcherzykowa. W aromacie czekolada, kawa, sporo paloności i delikatna wanilia. W smaku czekolada z kawą, palonością i alkoholem. Pełnia średnia, brakuje trochę ciała, piwo wytrawne. Alkohol niestety wyczuwalny, przeszkadzał w degustacji.
Tyk rig aroma,
Let bitter og sødme
Granatæble og let ristet kaffe
Lang kaffe finish
Rødt skær
Average carbonation
Draught @ Panema, Helsinki.
Poured black color with a thin brown head.
Roasted malty, oatmeal, licorice notes.
Flavor has roastedness, licorice, smoothness, cocoa. Dry finish.
(500ml bottle from the LCBO, BB 6/16) Definitely well past it's stated best before date. Nearly black pour with a big pale tan head. Notes of acidic roasted dark malt, a little caramel, burnt nuts, soft vanilla, oak, subtle cacao, a bit of dark fruit, subtle salt liquorice, light green hoppy bitterness. Lightly sweet turning to fairly dry, a bare hint sour, astringent and roasty with moderate bitterness. Fairly thin body with average carbonation, no alcohol. For an old bottle this held up very well, not showing many overt signs of oxidation. Reasonably pleasant old school imp stout feel, not the easiest to drink but still pretty well-brewed.
Schwarz mit hellbraunem Schaum. Geruch ist schokoladig, etwas Kaffee und Vanille. Geschmack leicht rauchig, malzig mit schokoladigen, karamelligen Aromen. Dabei angenehm bitter und leicht süß und für ein Imperial Stout recht süffig. Sehr runde Sache!
Draught in Delerium. Jet black with a minimal head. Aroma is molasses and malt. Flavour is raisins, caramel, warm malt, dry smoked wood. Lingering bitter finish.
0.33 l bottle from 'Biermuda', best before April 2018. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, medium roasty and minimally fruity aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, hazelnut, some licorice and hints of dark fruits. Quite sweet, malty, moderately roasty and a little fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, hazelnut, some licorice and a touch of dark fruits, followed by a medium long, rather roasty-bitter, moderately earthy-dry finish. Medium to full body, almost creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Classic Imperial Stout, great balance, good!
Mørkebrun.
Kaffe, eg, toast i næsen.
Fyldig og hverken for bitter eller for sød.
Helt ok.
Aus der Flasche im 2015-08 getrunken. Ein sensationelles, balanciertes Imperial Stout was keine Wünsche an ein solches Bier offen läßt. Hammergeiler Stoff.
Bottle, 50cl. Pours very dark brown. Still some cola-colored hue to it. Dense and creamy, settled beige head. Sweet, roasted malty aroma with coffee, herbal hops, wild red berries, wood, chocolate, caramel, toffee, raisin, some weak yeast - and dare I say, red wine? Taste is similar. Bittersweet coffee, chocolate and vanilla flavour at first. As it warms more heavily malty sweetness, roasty with more ripe dark fruits; oak, wood and earthy feel. Served too cold. Waited 10-15 minutes; got even more malty notes, wood barrel, vanilla, white pepper, cocoa, cherry oats and roasted grains. Let it develop and reveal itself.
Medium body. Quite ... surprising for an almost 10 % beer. Flat carbonation and not that heavy mouthfeel. Best at its sweetspot between served too cold and getting bit flat and overly belgian ale-sweet. Get it right, and its great.
50 cl bottle poured in to a Snifter. BBE July 2019. Pitch black with a thin tanned head. Sweet roasted aroma with coffee, caramel malts, chocolate, fruity yeast, subtle wooden notes and berries. Herbal hops. Taste is sweet. Full body with an oliy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes lasting roasted bitter with fruity notes and dark malts. Nice Imperial Stout that still tastes good after 10 years on the market.
330ml Bottle - Very dark brown with some red tinges. Liquorice, plain chocolate and berries in the aroma. Slightly earthy taste with notes of fennel, coffee, liquorice and plain chocolate.
Seidig röstiger EspressoSourDryer mit dem aufgeweichteGerstenFlair. SchokoSweet und immer ein Freund😉 . 0,5l Buddel aus Padborg.
aroma is pralines , coffie ans roasted notes. taste is amazing chocolate coffie medium sweet liquor. palate is smooth.
Bottle. Color: Almost black, dense smooth light brown head. Taste: Earthy, dark roasted malts, espresso, licorice. More to the bittery than to the sweet side. Some hints of wood and vanilla. Medium to full body, intense finish. Medium carbonation. Licorice and bit boozy warming mouthfeel. A beer to enjoy, slowly sipping at a relaxed moment.
Data ważności: 22.10.2017
Kolor: Ciemny brąz. Pod światło widać, że trunek jest klarowny.
Piana: Niewielka, ciemnokremowa o drobnej strukturze.
Tylko przez chwilę dryfuje po powierzchni piwa. Skraca się do centymetrowej otoczki. Umiarkowane krążkowanie.
Na dnie kielicha widać mnóstwo pływających farfocli.
Zapach: Aromat jest bardzo przyjemny. Przyznam szczerze, że nawet sam jestem zaskoczony, że jest tak dobrze. Początkowo palone nuty ciemnych słodów przechodzą w coraz to silniejszą owocowość.
Ciemne owoce przewodzą (ciemne winogrona, wiśnie).
W kontrze do nich nuty toffi, karmelu i rodzynek.
W dalszej perspektywie przewija się odrobina czekolady deserowej.
Smak: W smaku wyraźnie słodowe. Na prowadzenie wychodzą nuty karmelu, ciasteczek maślanych, odrobina ciemnych słodów i czekolada z nadzieniem.
Dalej trochę ciemnych owoców.
Na szarym końcu kawa z dużą ilością mleka i lukrecja.
Gdzieś pomiędzy wierszami odrobina płatków dębowych.
Tekstura powinna być oleista,
w rzeczywistości jest tylko umiarkowana.
Alkohol łagodny, gładki.
Słodki profil smakowy i czekoladowo-kakaowy finisz.
Wysycenie: Niskie / Średnie.
Podsumowanie:
Imperial Stout z duńskiego browaru Midtfyns Brygus zdobywał szereg nagród na różnych festiwalach europejskich.
Między innymi:
Best New Beer in Denmark 2007
European Beer Star - Gold Aword 2015
European Beer Star - Consumers Favourite Silver Aword Winner 2015
Piwo jest ewidentnie słodowe z mocnymi elementami karmelu, kakao, ciasteczek maślanych, czekolady i ciemnych owoców.
Tekstura nie jest zbyt gęsta. Spodziewałem się również, że leżakowanie na płatkach dębowych nada trunkowi znacznie wyraźniejszych cech.
Alkohol w pełni ugładzony.
RIS całkiem przyzwoity, bez jakichkolwiek wad, chociaż niczym szczególnym nie wyróżnia się w tłumie;)
500ml bottle @ home. Batch No. IS0002. Pours a rich opaque black with small tan head. Nose is earthy, roasted malt, and a sweetness. Flavour is upfront sweet, that lends way to a roasted and earthy flavour. The sweetness is raisin, plum, fig like. Medium bodied, and it is very well balanced through and through. Almost would consider this a desert imperial stout... very tasty brew.
Piwo w kolorze czarnym nalewa sie z niezbyt obfita lekko bezowa drobnopecherzykowa piana. W aromacie czekolada, kakao i troche alkoholu. W smaku dochodzi troche palonosci i sliwek. Polpelne cialo z niskim wysyceniem i goryczka na srednim poziomie.
Flot, mørk fyldig imp. stout med medium cremefarvet skum. Fine toner af chokolade, røg og lakrids.

A great Imperial Stout with surprising Barrel-aged Notes.
The Body is a bit thin for a 10% Stout.
Botle 0,33l. Taste of caramel, burnt sugar, a bit of liquorice, and alcohol. Mouthfeel is appropriately heavy, and the alcohol is maybe noticeable, but it’s also extremely drinkable. Nice stuff.
Bottle. Opaque brown -black pour with thin brown head. Aroma is very chocolaty, powdered cocoa, fruity,light booze. Taste is bitter, very chocolate forward, not too dry for a Euro stout, really nice chocolate flavor. Palate is med-full bodied, a tad light for style, nice carbonation. Tasty.
Really nice chocolety aroma with notes of red wine, plums and a touch of coffee in the back. It’s super pleasant, might be a bit thicker though. Similar in taste, very rich, lot of different ‚dark’ flavours with pleasant roasted bitterness in the end. Mouthfeel is a bit disapointed. I was expecting much heavier body. In overall - very good stout.
Bouteille avec un BB du 26/10/2017. Robe noire opaque avec un mince col de mousse blanc et laiteux. Arômes de chocolat noir, café, mûres en crème, houblons, mélasse et alcool. En bouche, chocolat noir onctueux, café au lait, mélasse, baies confites. Finale boisée avec notes de cacao. Texture crémeuse et corps rond.
Bottle 0,50L. Courtesy of Gregor. Clear, very dark, ruby brown color with average big, creamy, light brown head. Aroma of ripe dark fruits, caramel, peach & pear, roasted malts. Taste starts light sweet, caramely, dark fruits and finish medium bitter, chocolatly and vanilla like. Excellent imperial stout!
