Black Metal Imperial Stout
On tap at the Flying Saucer in Houston. I have been looking forward to trying this. A: Pours a pitch black color, basically opaque. A two finger tan head forms with good retention. Light sticky lace is left behind. S: Subtle and soft in the nose. A soft aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and light chocolate. T: There is a much bigger flavor. Big roasted malt and acrid coffee. Some bitter chocolate. A lingering oily hoppy bitterness as well. M/D: A full body that is oily and sticky. Low on the carbonation. and creamy. A slow sipper. After a minute, the bitterness takes over and makes this hard for me to drink. A nice imperial stout. The bitterness builds throughout and becomes to much for me to enjoy though. Worth a try, and I am glad Jester King has come out with this seasonal. Though I have had better versions.
