Tastes sweet at fuest before succumbing to a boozy sourness. Salted caramel in the finish. Thick oily mouthfeel with little carbonation. Intense.

On tap at Luppolo12. Black colour, beige-brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roast, caramel, green pepper, sweet. Flavour is sweet, roast, dark chocolate, caramel, hint of salt but could be suggestion, light spicy, bittersweet finish. Full bodied. Tasty.
Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of salty chocolate, caramel, licorice, malt and vanilla. Taste of smooth salty chocolate, caramel, earthy vanilla, licorice, roasted malt and some spice. Very nice.
Colo negro, completamente opaca. Un dedo de espuma marrón con retención media. Aroma a chocolate negro, malta tostada y ligero café. Gusto a chocolate negro, chocolate con leche, ligero café, malta tostada, vainilla, caramelo y melaza, tiene el punto de sal correcto que le hace marcar la diferencia respecto a otras Imperial Stout de la misma familia, ligeramente especiada. Cuerpo oleoso y pegajoso. Todo lo que elabora Westbrook es magia, y ésta no es una excepción, muy, muy buena y original, se sale.
2018/12/28 - Pours a dark brown cola colour with a thick, foamy, tan head that slowly reduces and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is chocolate cake, vanilla, cream, dough, toasted malts, toffee, light alcohol and brown sugar. Taste is vanilla, chocolate cake, fudge, toffee, milk chocolate, salt, bread, light alcohol and toasted malts. Mouthfeel is medium and oily with creamy carbonation and a sweet, lightly warming finish. Decadent and sweet without being cloying.
Tap at Helst, Amsterdam. Poured a clear dark brown with a big short-lived frothy tan head. The aroma is massive milk chocolate, roasty malt, lactose, light liquorice. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth oily rich, roasty, cocoa, light salty, dry coffee palate. Medium to full bodied with flat carbonation. Superb.
(∞-choco (ouf !), bouche aussi : très grand-mère, onctueuse, mais trop légère, déçu (no carnet, donc))
Okoliczności nie pozwalały na zrobienie porządnych notatek, zapisałem tylko noty.
Bottle. Moderate to heavy toasted and dark chocolate for the malt, faint resin for the hops, light dough for the yeast, with notes of vanilla and toffee in the background. Head is average size, frothy, tan, with excellent lacing and good legs, and is mostly lasting. Color is very dark brown. Flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet and slightly acidic, then finishes moderately sweet, lightly bitter and a touch salty. Palate is medium to full, creamy, with a soft to lively carbonation and a chalky finish. A great Imperial Stout and an excellent dessert beer.

Bottled, at AndySnow tasting. Black with small beige head. Rich aroma of caramel and milk chocolate. Very sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Caramel and salty treacle. Fairly low bitterness. Unrefined and sticky.
Słono czekoladowe, fajnie że nie ulepek, jak dla mnie wręcz bliżej wytrawności niż słodyczy, dobre, pijalne, zbalansowane
Black with a dense brown head. Strong and powerful aroma of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and caramel. Sweet, but in a very harmonious way, with a salty finish and lots of complexity. Full-bodied with a creamy palate. One of the best stouts I have ever tasted! Perfect way to celebrate my 40th birthday.
LCI. Uit de fles geschonken. Prachtige stout: chocola, koffie, en een klein beetje zout. Heerlijk.

Caña en el señor Lupulo Gijon 02..10.. 2018. (r142). Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco casi por completo. Sabores intensos café, sobredosis de cacao y chocolate y suave toque salado fino al final. Cuerpo intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio. Fina, sedosa en boca con buena densidad. Bastante buena, para repetir sin duda alguna. Gran cervezon.

Level 6 bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for this one. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth soft dark malts, good soft dark chocolate. Little vanilla makes for a touch of milk chocolate. Mellow tangy dark fruits and vanilla. Smooth finish. Soft and rich and drinkable.
27Sep2018 Sweet, dark chocolate, cacao, dark chocolate cake. Hazy, very dark brown, small, creamy, beige head. Light bitter. Marshmallow, dark chocolate, cacao, chocolate cake, dark, toasted bread, soft carbonation, full bodied. Nice, but could do with more depth. Bottle shared at L6 tasting - thanks to Leighton!
Bottle shared in London / picked up at Bottle Shop. Pours black-brown with a small, foamy white head. Good stuff, sweet chocolate, burnt marshmallows, light ash, raisins, dried berries. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly chewy. Lightly warming finish, big and rounded chocolate, dark fruits, more marshmallows, a little earthy bitterness. Good stuff overall.
Bottle 650ml @ Norwegian Ratebeer Gathering 2018
Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, coffee and cocoa. Taste is medium to heavy sweet and light to medium bitter with a long warm, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, coffee and cocoa finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.
Aroma is very reminiscent of cocoa milk and small notes of nuts are detected along with malt. Color is pitch black and the head is khaki colored and fluffy. Taste is also very reminiscent of cocoa milk along with some notes of dried fruits, salt, nuts and coffee. A nice beer!
