They serve it cold here. Mild roasted aroma. Dark taste with hints of espresso. Semi sweetish, ripe fruitsish. Leather and some farm boogie. Slightly bitter.
330ml bottle from Otdokhni in Moscow. Pours dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, a little smokey. Taste is slightly roasted but very watery. Has to be a bad bottle. Will have to re-review this at some point.
Draft at Porterhouse Central. Down to 6.5% and maybe still falling. Opaque brown beige head solid lacing. Cocoa powder aroma. Taste is earthy fruity coffee grounds. Got me an Untappd badge with this bad boy
Bottle at 6.5% ABV. Pours opaque deep brown to black. Small beige head that stays as a ring. Aroma: roast, vinous, ground coffee. Light to medium body. Taste: quite dry, roast and coffee, minor earth, light bitterness. A good stout. Still, in that condition, not an impy by any means.
Draft at the source. Virtually black with a creamy, tan head. Aroma of chocolate, gingerbread, anise. Taste trends sweet with milk chocolate notes. Turns bittersweet and dryer at the end. Medium body, smooth, mild carbonation. Nice!

Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, some oak, dried fruits, slight liquorice, a little nuts and subtle caramel. Taste of dark chocolate, liquorice, dried fruits, some nuts, roasted malts, slight coffee, oak and subtle praline. Medium bodied and moderate carbonation. A dry, nutty and chocolate bitterness in the finish. A classic Irish dry stout, amped up to 11. Malty, fruity and subtley acidic. A complex Irish strong stout.
6,5%. Süßlich schokoladiger, weich malziger Antrunk. Leicht bitter, mild röstig. Weicher, schokoladig bitterer Nachhall. Nett. 10/8/9/9//10
Direkt vor Ort frisch vom Hahn getrunken. Tiefschwarz mit dünner Schaumkrone. Dezente Nase. Aber dafür gut ausgeauter Körper, der den Alkohol gut überspielt.

Оч хороший стаут, но не имперский конечно (слабоват), приятный аромат и вкус, послевкусие с горчинкой. Годен до 15.12.2017. (Bottle 0,33/ 6,5%) 2016 vintage 6.5% "20 years".
From elcervecero. In Teku glass. Playing Magic 2015. Low ABV but still full of taste and aroma. Great balance between roastyness, sweetness and bitterness with some spicyness too. At the end of the glass yeast seem to concentrate spoiling the last 2 sips though
Brown, beige head, fruity aroma, chocolate, orange, nice, fruity flavor, chocolate, orange, nice, alcohol, medium bodied.
Pinta en Cerveceria Kraken ( Oviedo ) Espuma densa duradera, buen sabor con toque de malta, chocolate y café, suave para ser una imperial pero con muy buen sabor, muy equilibrada
Aromas a café y chocolate
Aspecto muy bueno tirada en hand pump
En boca balanceada y sedosa
Sabor maltoso y chicolate con final seco y amargo
Negro opaco y espuma beis. Aromas de cereal y tostados. Cuerpo bajo y sabor tostado con amargor quemado.
Mooi zwart, wat te dun schuim. Ruikt nu nog vooral de chocola van de toetjes.. Maar is er toch ook wel echt. Smaakt een beetje alcoholisch. Jammer.. Ook beetje veel carbo, en gebrand bitter.
