Hercule Stout
Appearance: A dark brown body with a dense 2 finger mocha-colored head. Intense carbonation typical of Belgian ales. Smell: Light roasted coffee, husky grain, slight tartness and acidity, dark chocolate. Taste & mouthfeel: Earthy with fruity esters, chocolate and a coffee backbone that lingers from start to finish. Mild bitterness in the finish with a hint of acidity coming through at the very end. Very dry overall with just a touch of sweetness present throughout. Light-bodied compared to many American spins on the style, the mouthfeel is decidedly more Belgian. Notes: Very good stuff, unique for sure, but I'd probably not seek it out frequently.
