Ryan Sullivan's Imperial Stout
Poured into a Sam Adams glass. From a 22oz bomber. A - Pours an oily dark dark brown color with a tan head that is about .5 in tall. It has medium sized bubbles. It recedes to a film. S - Wonderful sweet roasted malts, chocolate smell and some mild alcohol warmth. Some very sharp and balanced tart aromas mixed with the sweetness. T - Malt sweetness is immediate, with a burnt and roasted coffee taste. Mild chocolate is present at the beginning. The alcohol warmth is definitely felt. Although it's very good I still fell that there is something missing in the taste like somehow part of the taste ends prematurely. The taste itself is mostly of roasted malts, a bit smokey as well. M - Starts out oily at the front and finishes clean and crisp almost scraping the tongue and palette clean. D - High ABV makes this low.
