Ok, I screwed up. I had 3 bottles of this lovely beer and I thought I
had already reviewed it. But fuck no, I forgot and just enjoyed this majestic “Russian
Imperial Stout” in three different occasions. So, this is based on my memory, which might be a little messed up :)
Let me tell you: Here is a gem for a beer! I could not have
believed that there could be a coffee and chocolate spiced imperial stout that is
so good, balanced, smooth, lovely, tasty, good, easy drinking and magnificent
at the same time. Spiced beers are so many times too spiced up that they sometimes
even ruin the basic malty and hoppy taste of beer. Also many imperial stouts
seem to be too burned for my taste buds. This has not too much burned taste,
just smoothness!
Color is black, obviously, and head looks magnificently dark. Scent is
imperial-stoutlike J Taste is so great, smooth and nice, even too good in a way, that I
forgot, how strong this is. There is, of course, coffee and chocolate, but
neither of them ruin the balance of this perfect imperial stout. At least I
think this is perfect – You can think different.
**** Great
