Copenhagen 25/12 2018. 50 cl can from Lidl, Lygten, Kbh NV. Drawing of a weird old guy with his hat dragged down to his nose on the can. A lot of science gear surrounding him. Looks pretty cool.
Pours dark brown with medium-sized off-white head. Settles as thin patchy layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. Crawling up the side of the glass. Moderate Lacing.
Aroma is moderately strong with a light roastiness and sweetness. Sweet caramel, lightly roasted malts, brown sugar, vanilla. Sweet and a bit one-dimensional.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, creamy, oily texture.
Flavor has strong sweetness followed by a medium strong, slightly harsh bitterness with strong sweet undercurrent. Lingers for while.
By far the best one I’ve tasted from Eichbaums Steam Brew brand. A bit sweet and one-dimensional but does deliver a decent Stout for a fairly low price.

500 ml can, purchaded from Lidl in Toulouse, France, poured into a taster’s snifter..
Right to the point. Neither Imperial nor Stout, this thin-legged dog is nothing more than a mass-produced German dark ale in a pretty can.

black in color, with thick cream colored head. Slightly roasty dark cocoa aroma and taste. well balanced not too sweet. overall it's okay but not very bold for an imperial stout

Okay, so it didn’t feel that “imperial” imperial. It was more like a well, kind of sweet and tasty stout - which is good. The booze haven’t hit just then. Aroma was quite bready and yeasty, again, something quite nice, and the taste was not overwhelmed by the roasted malts. It actually tasted quite light at some points - which was not bad.
Altogether an easy to drink, slightly alcohol-forward stout, what else would you want?
A strong B for just 75 cents or so.

500 ml can, from Lidl Hjørring. ABV is 7.5%. Black colour, moderate beige head. Moderate aroma of roast malts, a hint of caramel. Thin mouthfeel for its strength. Moderately sweet flavour, roast malts and caramel again, no complexity, minimal hops. Won't buy again.

Look: black with a thick dark chocolate colored head, very carbonated
Smell: a sort of funky iron smell, also malt, and a hint of chocolate
Taste: weak chocolate, a hint of coffee, malt, some of that iron funkiness
Feel: too much carbonation for a stout
Honestly not that good, stick to their IPA it is much better
