Come On Baby Light My Fire by Plan B
Fortress 15% (!), bitterness not specified, I would give it about 90-100
The aroma is rich, even a little sharp and atypical for an imperial stout – fruity, berry, and slightly fermented aromas dominate, while the classic notes of coffee and burnt malt are in the background.
The taste is also quite sharp and fermented. The beer is really biting: it is very bitter and leaves a spirituous aftertaste – well, of course, 15%, this is almost the level of port wine. There are many hoppy notes in the taste, smoke, smokiness, malt, bitter chocolate, slightly sour.
So, what do we have? Bitter, spirituous, and also sour... Excellent! The charming allure of harsh classics. No softening barrel aging. No additives. No cloying sweetness. A good beer with a masculine character, each sip of which is an adventure. The price is reasonable. I wouldn't say that the beer is better than Koniks 5, but sometimes you just want something like this. 9/10.

Bitterness 60, strength 12?
"Damn, I asked for beer, not cocoa!" – that was my first thought when I opened the can. But let's go through everything in order.
Nose: rather pale in the glass. Cocoa, sweetness, a little coconut, and very little malt.
Taste: now it's more like chocolate or even coffee with milk, rather than cocoa. In the background – malt and other cereal notes, a little coconut. Slightly bitter in the finish, but overall – very smooth and sweet without being cloying.
In total: very good, very unusual, but it gets boring quickly. It's hardly worth taking more than one can at a time. Not as sweet and coconutty as "Second Personality," closer to the classics. In general, the stout is good, but it's, let's say, for a special occasion. 8.5/10
