9% abv

750 ml bottle

$12.99

Appearance: dark body, almost black, big dark cola like edges, easy two finger light tan head; some nice lacing on the glass;

Aroma: dark roasted malts; semi-sweet chocolate; toasted brown sugars; light smoky note; creamy feel on the nose

Flavors: follows the nose with a light peppery feel on the back and finish; black smoked sea salt on the finish; medium roasted coffee; mild hops help to add balance

Mouthfeel: not imperial stout like its more stout like but, it is a Belgian Ale; not syrupy; not thick; in other words a tad thin for an imperial stout; dark roasted notes; sweet toasted sugars; medium coffee bitterness; light peppery feel probably from the alcohol; soft carbonation; full-medium body

To the Point: not a very impressive imperial stout – I’ll give it a C as an imperial stout; thinking of it as a stout – I’ll give it a B/B+; lacks the mouthfeel of an imperial stout; a very pleasing stout to sit back and enjoy;
