Le Coq Imperial Extra Double Stout
A 2003 bottle which states 9% abv. I pulled the seal and noticed it was corked. As I poured this beer I notice no head forming and began to think the corked didn't create a proper seal. The mouthfeel was flat. Smelled of roasted malts, chocolate some leather and alcohol. Taste continued smell but the exclusion of carbonation brought the overall experience of this beer down. I believe I got a faulty corked bottle as the seal around the cork states "caution pressurized bottle". There was no pressure in this bottle prior to uncorking and therefore the contents have been over exposed to air. I may buy another sometime.
