Appearance: black body with a ½ finger dark tan head, don’t forget to swirl the last inch of ale to mix in the sediment, looked thick on the pour, dark tan curtain with each sip, does not leave much on the glasses except some syrupy legs.
Aroma: dark roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, burnt sugars, not powerful but pleasing
Flavors: espresso with roasted molasses, dark chocolate character, bitter notes on the mid and finish but it does not stand out, these notes all come together for one tasty Imperial Stout.
Mouthfeel: thick, almost syrupy, silky slide, this is a sipper
My Strength Rating: 7.5/8 – a solid medium-full leaning toward full bodied stout, the dark roasted notes linger on the palate for a tasty aftertaste.
To the Point: A super-good Imperial Stout, not overwhelming as some Imperial Stouts can be, has some solid flavors to sit back and enjoy.
