8.00/10
A:8.00 T:8.00 L:8.00 M:8.00 O:8.00
Color:Black
Pours a deep black color with a thin dark tan head. Head disappears quickly leaving just a thin ring of foam around the edges of the glass.
Aroma is interesting. I am getting a sweet fruit, maybe raisin or even a rum mixed with roasted malt.
Taste is similar to the aroma. Lots of roasted malts, but I am getting a sweet fruit mixed with dark chocolate and molasses. A bit of bitterness on the back end.
Mouth feel is light for this style, a bit watery, but has a light creaminess. A very drinkable imperial stout. Medium carbonation, which again is not what I would expect from an imperial stout.
Overall an enjoyable beer, nice balance with a nice level of complexity to make it fun and interesting. Try one!
