Imperial Stout
From a Growler into a snifter. 2006 vintage. Pours an opaque black with a large brown head that quickly drops to a slight ring. Some lacing left around the glass. Smell is of chocolate mostly with a hint of licorice and alcohol. Taste is dominated by chocolate at first then is followed by a bit of coffee and a serious alcohol finish. Lots of heat on this one! Drinkability is lower because of the high abv. and potent alcohol flavors. Overall a fine RIS. Will probably pick this one up again.
