Siberian Night Imperial Stout
Pours an absolute black, that sucks light into it. You can tell by the pour that it is one viscous beer. Rocky tan colored head emerges, disappates very slowly, and leaves nice lacing. Smell is of heavily roasted malts, coffee, a bit of chocolate, and a slight hint of alcohol. Flavor is dominated by roasted malts, but well balanced by a slight hint of sweetness. The roasted flavors are almost astringent, and could possibly be mistaken for hops. Coffee flavors show through as well. Mouthfeel is full chewy and viscous. Dinkability is also high. Quite a nice beer. I've yet to be disappointed by Thirsty Dog...
