Amager Bryghus - Xbeeriment Black Force One

The basic idea with this beer originated while making Xbeeriment Barack. AB decided to go for it and create an Imperial Stout made with 5 different kinds of malt including substantial amounts of peat smoked malt, roasted barley and 3 different hop varieties. Then added a 4th variety for dry hopping. Finally it was bottled unfiltered, bottle conditioned and left to mature in the bottle for 2 months before release. Serve at 53-57 degrees Fahrenheit.

The ABV is 10.4 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Imperial Stout
Glass to use- Pint Glass, Tumbler, Snifter or Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery - Draft

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Great lacing.
Aroma - Roasty malts, sweet and chocolate. 
Taste -  Deep roasty malts, dark chocolate, a slight hop after burn and boozy.

Drinkable - A good example of the style.It's a slipper, only negative aspect is the harsh hop aftertaste which some folks like.
