Le Coq Imperial Extra Double Stout
Vintage 2003. Cellar temp poured into my Brooklyn snifter. A-Jet black. No head. barely any bubbles from pouring. Why did the bottle say caution contents under pressure. S-chocolate covered esspresso. Port. Sweet alcohol. No hops. T-Chocolate soaked in port. Slightly corked, but ok. Roasty bitter. Slightly tart. Chocolate covered espresso beans. As the beer warms, the hop bitterness comes out. Nice. M-medium thick. A little carbonation would make this more drinkable. No alcohol heat. D-This is an interesting beer. Different take on the imperial stout. Could it have had some carbonation? yes. That would have brought out more of the aroma. This is a good beer for a winter night.
