Hercule Stout
Dark but not quite opaque in color with large cinnamon/coffee head on top. Aroma of liqueur, licorice, roast, dark fruit, raisins, and slight chocolate cream. Flavors of chocolate cream, burnt sugar, raisins, dark fruit toward the end, and finishes with roast and nutty aftertaste. Medium bodied, not too overpowering in taste or body. The 9% doesn't attack much, the flavors keep the alcohol docile. A very interesting stout, I don't know if I am ready to give it a world class status but definitely is worth considering.
