Bottle at home, 23rd March 19. Pours black, thick and viscous. Aroma is booze, chocolate coconut, roasty, toasty, maple. Taste is roasted malts, dark chocolate, coconut, infused maple syrup, heady, sweet, but there's some relief, musky, barrel, liquor to temper. Fantastic
Bottle thanks to Jens. Aroma of maple, coconut, bourbon, chocolate. Black with tan head. Taste is moderate sweet, bourbon, maple, bitter chocolate. Full body, thick feel and maple milk chocolate finish.
Bottle. Pours opaque black with a small late forming dark brown head that dissipates leaving decent residual and lacing. Aroma is mega maple, coconut, chocolate, bourbon. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, maple much more so than coconut, kind of a woody earthy note as well. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Honestly not as good as the regular. Kinda hot
Bottle at Lingua tasting in Jan, many thanks Rich! Poured near black with no head forming. Just a divine aroma, a superb decadent balance of maple, coconut, and liqueur chocolate notes; I couldn't stop inhaling. A very sweet dessert beer, very smooth, almost flat, liqueur warmth lingering. Delicious all the way.

Reviewed on 8/6/18: Bottle courtesy of _angst_....thanks Alex! This makes 50/50 on the RateBeer Top 50! I am sure there will be a ticker tape parade waiting for me, along with a 50 page thread of congratulations from strangers that I have never met!! My cell phone ringer is on full volume, so as to not miss the phone call from AB-InBev.....as I am sure they will want a full interview from me....possibly a job offer, if I come across as "legit". Fingers crossed!! Anywho, I suppose I should talk about this beer.... Pours black, hues of dark brown, and a 2 finger mocha colored head that fades to a ring, with spotty lacing. Looks nice enough. On a scale of 1 to Budweiser, appearance ranks fairly high on the echelon. Aromas are full of fudge and vanilla....tons and tons of coconut...light barrel inflection. Ok, I am getting excited to sip this beer at this juncture. Taste is as the nose suggests, full of fudge notes, dry cocoa inflection, toasted coconut.....and an warming barrel presence that never bites too hard. Nice mouthfeel has an oily feel, but thick enough to keep the alcohol in check. Velvety Mounds bar. Light hints of spice, earth, tobacco work their way in as this warms. Finishes sweet, with bursts of cocoa and coconut.... with a lingering warmth that never becomes too overbearing. Another well done adjunct desert stout, that most of this site has a disdain for....I, on the other hand, have no problem enjoying these glutinous beasts of beers! Now, I am going to get back to my daily grind, waiting by the phone for AB-InBev to call with a questionnaire for me to fill out. Cheers!

MBCC 2018. Blue. Blood and Fists session. Keg. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Big maple nose. Smooth dark malts, nice dark chocolate. Touch of pine. Big maple follows the nose but it never gets cloying. A little dark fruits before a light finish. Sweet and easy drinking.

7Mar2018 Intense chocolate, cacao, sweet, dark roast coffee, dark, bitter chocolate pralines, toasted, bittersweet dark malts. Hazy, very dark brown, hardly any head. Medium sweet. More dark, very rich and intense chocolate, baking cacao, mocha, very soft carbonation, full bodied, alcohol in the bittersweet and very long finish. Outstanding Impy, rich and complex, however, would have wished for the BA to have been a bit more pronounced. Bottle from Saveur Biere, Lille.
Juz wersja podstawowa jest sztosem, w tym przypadku beczka nie wplynela az tak intensywnie. Nadal jest duzo kokosa i czekolady. Wszystko bardzo intensywne.

Tap @ MBCC. Czarne z niska, slaba bezowa piana. W aromacie i smaku dominuje syrop klonowy polaczony z kawa, mleczna czekolada, pieczony kokos, wanilia. Zapach petarda! Oleista tekstura. Grzejacy, ale szlachetny kolor. Niskie wysycenie. Slodkie, ulepkowate, pelne. #teamcukrzyca Kolejny sztos od Omnipollo!

Dodatki: Płatki owsiane, orzech kokosowy, syrop klonowy
Data ważności: 17.03.2020
Kolor: Czarny, nieprzejrzysty.
Piana: Niewielka, intensywnie beżowa, drobno ziarnista piana. Już po przelaniu do szkła widać, że długo nie zagości na powierzchni trunku.
Piana szybko opadła do wąskiej wstążeczki. Nie pozostawiła śladu na krawędziach szkła.
Zapach: Aromat to jest po prostu wielokrotny orgazm w płynie.
Tony syropu klonowego, mleczna czekolada, płatki owsiane, ciasteczka kokosowe, kokosy, orzechy migdałowe, karmel.
REWELACJA! Poezja! Nie da się przejść koło tego obojętnie.
Smak: Smak jest potężny i wielowarstwowy. Sam nawet nie wiem od czego zacząć i co tutaj dominuje najbardziej, tyle tego jest.
Syrop klonowy wydaje się grać tutaj główną rolę.
Amerykańskie pancakes oblane tym właśnie syropem automatyczne przywoływane są do tablicy.
Jest także mnóstwo kokosowych detali: wiórka kokosowe, ciasteczka kokosanki, mleczko kokosowe, bounty oblany mleczną czekoladą.
Pojawia się także karmel, orzechy migdałowe, nutella, orzechy włoskie, kakao, szczypta wanilii.
Alkohol rozgrzewa od środka, ale nie wychodzi na powierzchnię.
Tekstura mogła by być wzorem dla każdego idealnego Imperialnego Portera - jest jak olej silnikowy.
Goryczka niewielka, minimalne palone posmaki z tyłu. Umiarkowane wysycenie.
Cudowna lekkość i odczucie pełni.
Oblizuje się przy każdym łyku.
Sztos!
Wysycenie: Średnie.
Podsumowanie:
Kompletne piwo od A do Z.
W zasadzie ideał stylu. Najlepszy Imperial Porter w moim życiu.
Kolosalnie intensywny w aromacie, miażdżący w smaku.
Gęsty i oleisty w teksturze.
Jedyny maluteńki minus za trochę zbyt rozgrzewający alkohol.
Z pewnością trunek dla wszystkich, którzy kochają syrop klonowy.
Sztos!

Draught at MBCC 2018, blue session.
Black body, with a tiny, dark coffee-colored head.
Lovely aroma of maple syrup, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, nuts, cocoa, slight coffee.
Tastes similar, with some booze, more roast and wood.
Full, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes boozy, medium sweet, medium dry, a bit roasty, with dark chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, some coconut, some coffee.
Very tasty. Quite dominant sweet maple notes, while not too much, still leaving room for creamy chocolate and roast. Quite heavy and boozy as the regular version, so not among my favourite Omnipollo stuff, while still really great.

330 ml bottle, shared by Werckmeister, many thanks!
Pitch black, oily body, with a small, creamy, coffee-colored head.
Aroma of maple, coconut, nuts, bourbon, melting dark chocolate, vanilla, some dark fruits, slight coffee.
Tastes quite similar, with some more oak and some booze.
Full, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes medium roasty, a bit dry, wooden, with tobacco, coffee, cocoa powder, some sweetness.
Tasty. Heavy and rich, with quite a lot of booze, while not too overpowering. Greatly balanced, sweet and roasty notes well dosed, with nice maple and coconut notes and a good, dry roastiness towards the finish. Not among my favourite Omnipollo Imperial Stouts, but another great one.

Tap @MBCC2018, Blue Session. Black, small tan head. Solid maple syrup aroma. Syrupy coffee flavour. Sweet. Does not quite live up to the aroma.
Tap. Black color with beige head. Aroma is super maple, coconut, chocolate, coffee, sweet hazelnuts. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Crazy, and tasty, despite it's heavy sweetness. It doesn't get much better than this.
