Privatbrauerei Eichbaum Steam Brew Imperial Stout – Imperial Stout at 7.5% ABV

Privatbrauerei Eichbaum Steam Brew Imperial Stout – Imperial Stout at 7.5% ABV (0.89€ at Lidl Polch, 473 ml, packaged on 9-Jul-2025, best before 9-Jul-2026, acquired 8-Dec-2025, reviewed 10-Dec-2025)

Appearance: clear deep cola red with one finger of loose beige head diminishing gradually to nothing, spotty soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: anise, sweet caramel, light cocoa/coffee. (6/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate-soft carbonation, lingering bitter finish finish. (3/5)

This may well be one of the saddest “Imperial Stout” offerings I’ve ever had, which is probably why the label notes focus on its appearance. On the other hand, it was 0.89€, so in all honesty, I wouldn’t mind buying it again. (12/20)

This will be my 6,288th unique Untappd check-in.
