Got this one from motherbrother a while back. Cheers!
From a 37,5cl bottle into a snifter
Best Before December 2022
Double Imperial Honey Stout
Drunk after Hornsleth, so couldn't resist the temptation to compare.
APPEARANCE: Pours out black but not like Hornsleth. Black pour yields a small, bubbly, dark tan head with decent retention. Black body with no carbonation evident. Head fades to a ring and splotchy wisp. A few dots of wisp remain but leave no lacing down the glass.
SMELL: Roasted and burnt malts, some dark chocolate and sweet port on the nose. Honey is there as well. More agreeable than Hornsleth, but still too burnt and charred.
TASTE: Light sweetness up front with a touch of honey, then roasted, burnt and charred malts at the swallow. Char, ash and burnt grains linger on the palate with a bed of port alcohol underneath. Not as horrid as Hornsleth, but this is also too ashy, charred and boozy.
PALATE: Full body, thicker and syrupy, with lower levels of carbonation. Slick and silky, goes down okay and finishes quite cloying. Some heat lingers, but no real burn at the swallow, surprisingly enough. Not as cloying as Hornsleth but still overly cloying.
OVERALL: This is at least half palatable, as it seems like they actually tried to make a beer instead of a novelty. That said, it's still way too burnt, charred and ashy in flavor, while also being too cloying and sticky on the palate. Another drain pour. Not even the honey could save this one. Thanks again for the fun trade motherbrother.
