Christmas calendar #22 So cool, can't even remember when's the last time I've had ice distilled beer. Best before 25.12.2025 Temperature: +12 C Coffee brown colored beer. No foam, looks like there's no to very little carbonation. Not sure how I should score this one: 2,5/5 The aroma is big and bold. But not boozy. This is how strong Imperial Stout should feel. There's also a neat spicy/hot chili aroma rising from the glass with a smoky punch. Some chocolate and roastiness, even licorice. Really nice: 4,5/5 Mouthfeel is intense! Oh yes, it is! Full-bodied with lots of alcohol and a hot chili feel. Still, this manages to be drinkable (I mean as a 25% ABV). Very low carbonation. Not sure if there's any bitterness. The alcoholic and chili feel is on control: 4,75/5 Taste starts with a "dark" malty taste with sweetness, coffee, and chocolate. And then some smokiness. But then comes a barrage of chili and heavy alcohol. The sweetness comes back in the aftertaste for a short time before the chili takes control once again. Good complexity! 12,75/15 This is probably a third ice distilled beer I've tasted. And most likely the best one from those. Really big, really bold. I'd like a bit less chili and a bit more "beer". Relatively easy-drinking, surprisingly. Fascinating one: 17,25/20 =42,25/50
