Herkullisessa tuoksussa hieman viskiä, tummaa kuivattua hedelmää, suklaata, vaniljaa ja hentoa kahvisuutta! Tuhdin siirappinen ja makea suutuntuma/makumaailma, jossa vaniljainen suklaisuus vahvimpana elementtinä. Lisäksi pehmeää paahteisuutta, kuivattua hedelmää, hieman kahvia, pientä suolaisuutta ja miellyttävää viskisyyttä! Alkoholi lämmittää, mutta ei ole muuten häiritsevästi esillä! Varsin tuhti siirappipommi, mutta kuitenkin miellyttävän pehmeä ja sopivassa balanssissa!

Lovely thick syrupy imperial stout. Starts off with raspberry flavours which change to oak then sweet liquorice.

Have to admit this is one fine beer. At 14% it’s actually an easy one to drink.

My first time venturing above 9%, this is understandably unlike anything I’ve tried before. My first thought is “what have I let myself in for?” after “£5 for 1/3, really?”. My second is “this is gonna be special”, after I can smell the beer from a few feet away, knowing that it’s rich with chocolate, coffee and vanilla before even handling the glass. I feel like you could get drunk just off the fumes of this beast, as the nose is as thick with flavour as the taste is. This smells powerful, alcoholic and sweet yet warming. The mouthfeel is oddly carbonated as well as thick as syrup, like the flavour is bursting out of itself. Creamy and velvety, you can tell this is extra ordinary. The flavour is just as the nose gives away. With bags of vanilla chocolate, coffee, port and cinnamon, a dessert wine springs to mind as this tastes as sweet as a sundae but definitely not as sickly. A faint bitter finish reminds your possibly confused brain that this isn’t on the wine list and somehow does belong on tap. Definitely not something to be drank regularly but definitely special.
