Raven's Eye Imperial Stout
Served out of a 22 into my mug A- Pours a deep, dark with a beautiful, thick- three finger, tan head, leaves random splotchy, light lacing S- smells stouty with bits of chocolate; coffee; malty goodness...very pleasant...between the appearance and the smell i can't wait to try this. T+M- Smooth and creamy but light, moderate carbonation; the beer seems to mature as you drink it and it warms; at first its all chocolate for me with undertones of alcohol but then it progresses to subtle coffee inflected with malts. feels awesome in the mouth D- it is a 9.5% beer and a stout at that so you can't expect it to be the most drinkable beer...although Maine winters pretty much demand an increase in stout consumption, this beer has a good amount of heft. and you do feel the 9.5 post beer.
