Testet 7/11 2013. Jeg har blitt bitt av Imperial Stoutbasillen! Er noe med denne ølsjangeren og årstiden som passer perfekt sammen! Surt og kaldt ute. Peis, Filmbonanza og en god stout inne. Kontraster appellerer. Her er dommen: 

First of all, I love the artwork on Hornbeers products! Awesome! About the beer, it pours black with almost no head. Aroma is delicate, but vague. Coffee is dominant, but as it warms up a little there's even a nice sweetness. Taste is interesting, with heavy coffee, roasted malt and also rum. Some alcohol detectable in aftertaste, but not an issue. Medium bodied. Different from recent Imperial Stouts I've tried, but nonetheless a very nice beer! 79/100 points.
