beer_name: Cryptical Imperial Stout
text: Served in a ten ounce snifter at Brixx in Charlotteville. From notes. Reviewed 20 June 2011. A: Dark black with a big head. Completely opaque. S: Roasted malts. Sweet; vanilla beans or bourbon-soaked oak? Ensorcelling. T: Mmm...Sweet-bitter coffee beans soaked in bourbon. The maintaste is full of dry hops, huge malts, and fantastic stout flavours. Though the main body is sadly short, the bitterer endtaste lingers. M:A lightly drying beer, bitter so, and rather substantial. O: I was sufficiently impressed by this beer that my (sober) review is full of modifying expletives, eliminated here for propriety's sake. It has all the flavours a double stout should and is obscenely drinkable. I will definitely have it again; highly recommended.
