2010 Vintage
9% abv
90 IBUs
$15.99 a four pack
Appearance: pitch black body with a thin tan head with some
spotty lacing
Aroma: big rich dark roasted notes; light smoke; fairly
simple nose
Flavors: dark roasted grains; bittersweet chocolate coffee;
burnt dark sugars; light alcohol peppery spice on the back
Mouthfeel: very low carbonation; just a hint of fizz;
semi-syrupy; full-medium body; light astringent note on the finish and
aftertaste; burnt notes linger; I am sure the alcohol note has mellowed with
age
To the Point: seems to be just short of an Imperial Stout;
not as thick and syrupy as I would expect; very nice none the less; seems to be
aging nicely; for 16 bucks a four pack I want it to knock my socks off -
