Founders Imperial Stout
Poured from a 12 oz bottle that was about 8 months old. Pours a very black, mocha tan head, nice lacing. Very enticing! I expected more head though(of course I did). Smells beautifull! Coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, and oak. Smells as good as it looks. O can't smell hops even though the IBU's are way up there. Taste of black burnt malt with espresso, coffee, chocolate and a slight alcohol burn. It all comes together so nicely. I am getting an oaky flavor, but I didn't think it was aged in oak. Anyway, it's fucking nice!! The mouthfeel is full and dry with minimal carbonation. Not the chewiest, but no where near thin. Oily with a nice sheen I can' get enough of this beer! I think this may be better with some age on it due to the fact the bitter hops never came through. One of my favorite Imperial Stouts- for $11.99 a 4-pack.
