Omnipollo Agamemnon Imperial Stout Brewed with Maple Syrup

Omnipollo Agamemnon Imperial Stout Brewed with Maple Syrup.
12.5 % ABV.
Omnipollo, Stockholm, Sweden.

Absolute blackness, complete opacity, slim brown ring of foam.

In the nose: all the usual suspects in attendance. Deep, rich, thick layers of dark malts, chocolate, espresso, dark fruits, tobacco, leather, anise...all of them are here. But maple syrup is running late.

In the mouth: Mmm. The whole gangs's jumped onto the palate. Rich, thick, viscous, a melting pot of dark, deep deliciousness. Getting a lot of Imperial Stout flavors in this one, but still not much of maple. Big and getting bigger.

Invited to brew in the US I wanted to use local ingredients. Agamemnon is an Imperial Stout brewed with maple syrup. Boiled 7 hours.
