ABV: 18.2%
OG: 1140
IBU's: 90
Malts: Marris Otter, Dark Crystal,
Caramalt, Chocolate Malt, Roast Barley
Hops: Galena
Twist: Brewed with Jasmine and
Cranberries. Dry-Hopped then aged on oak chips.
Black stout pours in glass. Head is
very nice, creamy, stoutlike. Aroma is a bit sweet roasty malts.
Taste is very nice, it has all kinds of flavors, but not bitterness,
until in the aftertaste a bit. I have to let this warm up a bit and
continue after that...
There is some portwine like sweetness
and chocolate, also black coffee with sugar. I think this is kind of
basic imperial stout (I mean not a particularly BrewDog "hopbomb",
which this is not), but can't say for sure, yet, as this was a bit
too cold as it was in my cellar (maybe 5-10 degrees).
Very warming (obviously, 18.2% alc) and
relaxing beer, which is slightly too sweet for my taste, but still
fucking good imperial stout (which this is, in a traditional way) for
these kinds of one beer sessions, when you just want to taste some
really great beer and this definitely is. Thumbs up BrewDog!
**** Great
