Very dark chocolate pour with a beautiful thick caramel colored foamy head that sticks to the glass. Very intense coffee aromas, chocolate and burnt sugar also in there.
Thick mouthfeel, molasses, espresso beans and vanilla beans with the alcohol at back.
Really good beer.
375 ml bottle from my son Enniskillen. Nose is chocolate, roast, toffee, and raisins. Black with a medium, lightly lacing, cinnamon tan head. Flavor is moderately sweet chocolate and coffee with a hint of vanilla. Nice stuff.
Nice brown head. aroma of coffee, chocolate, roast, vanilla, nuts. Not very intensive. Taste is much better. Coffee, chocolate, caramel, almonds, nuts. Very sweet. Full body, low carbonation, low bitterness. Very nice one.

Bottle at home. Dark reddish hue brown with a thin tan head residing. Scent is somewhat cherrywood and raspberry stout ale. Taste is consistent caramel properties. Smooth and sweet berries. Toffee. Brilliantly smooth. Excellent. Milkshake without the sugar and additives overload. Brilliant profile on the coffee.
Black color, small brown head. Aromas of molasses, coffee, alcohol, tart hints, brown sugar and slight dish soap(?). Taste of molasses, muscovado sugar, coffee and alcohol. Slight tart finish. Not great.
(très puissante-sensuelle-hard à tous les niveaux, oat, coffee, casso, choco, réglisso-hoppy-pimentée, douce-vacharde)
Toń ciemno brązowa, piana obfita, opada do kołnierza.
Aromat mocniej palonej, owocowej kawy, lukrecji, sosu sojowego, alkoholu.
Ciało jest półpełne, wysoko nasycone, lekko zakleja jamę ustną.
Słodkawy smak czekolady, sosu sojowego, toffi, kawy, cukru trzcinowego, ciemnego pieczywa z wyraźną krótką chmielową kontrą.
Fajne piwesio. Mogłoby tu być mniej sosiku a więcej paloności.
On bottle @Ølfred - Aarhus Streetfood.
Pours black, with long lasting beige head.
Scent: Intense coffee.
Taste: Coffee, quite long lasting, little liquorice.
Texture: Thick and creamy.

Butelka 375 ml; imperial coffee stout; w składzie m.in. kandyzowany cukier, prażony jęczmień, kawa. Czuję, jakbym pił już lepsze RIS-y. Wygląd znakomity, barwa wpadająca w czerń, ładna niemal kremowa pianka, gęste. Ciężkie to piwo, ziemiste; prażoność, cierpkość na języku. Dość alkoholowe i to czuć aby. Raczej słodowe, gorycz idzie od alkoholu. Przegorzka czekolada, melasa. Średnio pełne IMO.
A: Dużo kawy i paloności - całkiem przyjemnie, dalej lekko chmielowe, ciut czerwonego owoca
S: Team słodyczkam bardzo słodziutkie i praktycznie bez żadnej kontry, lekka paloność, trochę chmielu, dużo kawy, trochę czerwonego owoca, ale słodycz dominuje ponad wszystkim pozostałym. Zbyt słodkie, ciało średnie, goryczka średnia.
Bottle 0,375. Pours pitch black with large beige foamy head, good retention. Coffee, roasted malts, brown sugar, dark chocolate. Full body, silky mouthfeel, flat carbonation.
Bottle. Extensive head. Iron. Extensively coffe, in a sour way. Quite cheap, t least judging by its name
W aromacie kawa, lukrecja, nuty palone, lekko czekoladowe. Intenysywne, przyjemne. Barwa czarna, piana ladna, bezowa. W smaku slodko, kawowo, tez lukrecja, czekolada. Geste, pelne, przyjemne. Goryczka niska do sredniej, wysycenie sredniej. Bardzo fajne, mocno kawowe.
Wygląd świetny, gęste ciemne nieprzejrzyste, piana mega zbita gęsta, jasnobrązowa. W aromacie dość porterowo, przypieczona skórka od chleba, kawa zbożowa, gdzieś daleko w tle Jakieś ciemne owoce, kawa i czekolada, aromat bardzo przyjemny. W smaku dość spora słodycz, jakaś taka Wiśniowa, Cherry. Dalej oczywiście kawa, goryczka wyraźna ale niezbyt wysoka. No dla mnie mega. Połączenie czerwonych owoców i tej czekoladowo-kawowej i polewy idolo. Balans świetny. Na końcu lekko cierpkie i kwaskowate ale nie od kawy a od owoców. Generalnie bardzo złożone, Dla mnie bomba.
Dark brown almost black with a brown head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and herbs. Taste is roasted malts, coffee and chocolate.
Large frothy light-brown head. Good lacing. Mostly diminishing. Flat brownish-black body. Aroma: heavy roasted malt, dark chocolate, prune and wood. Initial flavor: moderate sweet. Final flavor: moderate sweet, very light acidic and moderate bitter; long duration. Palate: medium full body, creamy texture, medium carbonation and moderate alcoholic finish. o pesadíssimo dulçor maltado é enjoativo de inicio e lentamente vai sendo atenuado por amargor lupulado até ambos serem substituídos por médio aquecimento alcoólico. O dulçor traz também presença de frutas secas e leve acidez lembrando ameixa fresca. 90 s
Flaske. Sort, tyktflydende, flot brunt skum som langsomt svinder til tynd lag. Aroma kraftig sødlig mørk malt, svag kaffe. Smagen er kraftig, tyk, meget velbalanceret naturligt sødlig med lidt syrlig afrunding, en lille smule sprittet afslutning, kaffen er skjult godt. Lækker dessert stout som formår at undgå at blive kvalmende.
37,5cl Bottle @ Beergium, Le Roeulx, Belgium.
Black colour with a thin tan head.
Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, cocoa, sweet.
Taste is roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, mugicha, alcohol.
Full body, soft carbonation.
Początkowo jest świetnie - karmel, czekolada, kawa, mnóstwo leśnych owoców, jedwabista tekstura. Szkoda że pod koniec wyłazi taka ordynarna popielniczka rodem z dworcowych popielnic sprzed lat.
375ml bottle. Pours dark brown, big beige head stays nicely. Aroma is roasty, coffee, dark chocolate, prunes. Taste is chocolatey, liquorice, prunes, dates, cocoa. Booze in aftertaste. Rich body, average carbonation. Decent stout, needs more aging in bottle.
Ar: gorzka czeko, palony slod, dosc wytrawnie, masa karmelu, bogato, dobra intensywnosc, szlachetne alko. Wyg: czarne, nieprzejrzyste, piana ciemnobrunatna w braz, ultra drobna. Sm: wysycenie srednie, masa kawy i bardzo duzo slodyczy ze slodu, masa gorzkiej czeko, troche palonego karmelu, kawa daje zludna wytrawnosc choc jest bardzo slodko z karmelu palonego. Pos: palony karnel i jego slodycz + goryczka gorzkiej czeko. Ov: ma wlasny charakter.
Aroma: huge hints of intense coffee, roasted malts, licorice.
Appearance: I loved the oily texture of this brew. Color between dark brown and black. Small brown head.
Taste: intense coffee, roasted malts, some salty licorice hints (that I did not like). Medium sweet, almost too sweet for my preference.
Palate: oily feel, sticky, average carbonation, bitter, long finish.
Overall: Great sipping brew. Good quality brew, balanced. Did not like the licorice hints.
Bottle share with Ron. Thanks Ron! Super sweet, super boozy, no coffee detected. Aged bottle from 2016. Don't know that I would try this again. Needs a foil for the sweetness and the booze isn't it.
Bottle. Pours pitch black with a brown head with good lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, espresso coffee and chocolate. Tastes is rich, with lots of roasted malts, espresso, dark chocolate fudge, dark fruits, sweetness all over the place. Some fruitiness in the end. Very thick and full bodied ale, oily and sticky with some alcohol in the taste, soft carbonation, a long lingering finish.
4 finger dark beige head.
Pitch black beer.
Aroma is dark roast coffee, hint of blackcurrant, burnt brown sugar, oats, smoked note, raisins, winegum candy and some citrusy hops.
Taste is more focused on dark chocolate and burnt brown sugar but also contains fudge, vanilla, hint of coconut, smoked malts, dark roast coffee and some dried dark fruits as well as some 'higher' fruity notes.
Mouthfeel is thick yet not overly viscous. Big stickiness. Medium, rather calm bitterness. Very low carbonation. No noticable levels of alcohol.
Overall: Delicious coffee in this brew but unfortunately it has a close-to cloyingly sweetness attached to it. Would've also liked a harder initial kick and a slightly higher carbonation to make it feel more alive.
Butelka. Aromat kawowy, trochę czekolady, ciemne słody. W smaku dość słodkie, intensywne, z długim posmakiem.
