2006 vintage, ceramic bottle. Serving date: 2009-08-07.
A: Pitch black with a small beige head. Some lacings.
S: Lots of hard roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. Notes of licorice and dark fruits. Some alcohol.
T: Roasted malts, coffee and dark bitter chocolate in the mouth, with notes of dark fruits and licorice. Some wood. The flavor is rather sweet, but there are some salt notes as well. The finish has an almost ravaging bitterness to it that together with a surprisingly prominent taste of alcohol runs havoc in the mouth. Notes of soy sauce and tannins.
M: On the lighter side of full-bodied, smooth texture, gentle carbonation.
D: A very good and powerful imperial stout. There are some pretty bold flavors going on here. Unfortunately, I think the bitterness in the finish was a bit too much. Interesting to note that the alcohol is still this prominent after three years in the bottle.
