Otter Creek Russian Imperial Stout

Pours opaque with an inch of mocha, large bubble foam with a touch of froth on top. Retention is good while lacing is sporadic at best. Aroma is a bit muted for a Russian imperial stout. Malty: chocolate is the front runner, licorice, and caramel/brown sugar. Taste is a copy of the aroma. Chocolate, that is a bit bitter, followed by licorice, caramel, and bitterness in the finish. Medium body with the same amount of carbonation. "Juicy" for a stout, yet dry. A light end of the spectrum for a RIS. The lighter body and lack of aroma/flavor just don't do the style justice. Overall a nice beer. Enjoy!
