Le Coq Imperial Extra Double Stout
I really, really wanted to like this beer - i guess you can't always get what you want. 11.2oz bottle from 2000. 9% ABV listed on the bottle. A: Pitch black with juicelike bubbles floating at the top. No noticeable carbonation. S/T: Roasted malts and cherries in the nose. First taste is like port - very, very thin and cold (even though the beer temp was almost room temperature). Ripe cherries and alcohol predominate. A bit of wood comes out as does a burnt smoke flavoring. This really, really did not taste good. The mouthfeel was way too light (like juice) and the flavors were robust and overwhelming.
