Le Coq Imperial Extra Double Stout
Appearance- Dark black beer, tan moderate to thin foam lacing, little to any carbonation Smell- almost an up front smell of vinegar and soy/Worcester sauce, little bit of dark roasted malts, nuts, espresso slightly in background Taste- Sour bitterness which is surprising from the get go what you would have guessed in a beer of this style and the aromas upfront to me, really strong honestly in the steak sauce flavor again--so unusual never tasted anything like it to be honest, lots of maltiness in the back, a very long lasting finish, definite long finish, unique Mouth- Medium bodied and actually lighter bodied that you would expect for the strength, smooth on the tongue, Drinkability- Not overally powerful in alcohol considering the high percentage, but with that said definitely a sipper, I have to be honest and say I didnt really love this beer on its own, its one if I were to visit again I would have to pair with some type of a proper food pairing to kind of give it something to pair off of, just a very bit of oddness to me which if i had to put my finger on I guess was just the sourness, definitely a unique stout to try not sure its one for me though, complex and certainly how unique I found it to be makes it worth giving a try, seemed to be very different reaction from person to person on this one,
