Sampling a 16 oz can at cellar temp and poured into a snifter. Date stamp only says "na zodrovya", not helpful with freshness.
My label also has 11.5% as ABV not the 9.9% listed here. I picked up the cans at the brewery in September of 2022 after a Hartford Athletic game.
The beer pours a jet black coffee color with no light passing through the glass. A brown slightly frothy yet dense head of 2.5 cm foams up. This foam fades to a sturdy surface layer and one large wispy island. This remains through sampling.
Aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, some coffee grounds and a bit of anice. No hop character nor booze hints on the nose. Pretty straight forward imp stout profile.
First sip reveals a medium to lighter body than expected, with very fine tingly carbonation. Texture is smooth and doesnt coat or leave sticky residue on palate.
Flavor is roasted malts and dark chocolate, almost a charred wood note. Hints of molasses, but this is not a sweet beer profile. ABV is hidden and there isnt any real hop notes on the flavor profile either.
This is a bit of an old school, no additives imperial stout, that has good flavor and aroma. The body could be a little thicker, but in general, I like this one.
