beer_name: Imperial Stout
text: Paired with a pants-off dance-off. 2008. Huge, cascading, muddy brown head that clumps like mashed 'taters. Ridiculous retention provides a one way ticket to outta control lace town...and that's a good place to be. Opaque black. Smells like black jelly beans, chocolate and sugary molasses. Despite being aged for awhile (2 years give or take) it still tastes young. Wood, licorice, and rum over a chewy roast base. There's a medicinal component somewhere in there.
