Jahva (Imperial Coffee Stout)
22 oz, poured while watching the Cavs in the playoffs for the first time in a long time. Appearance: Dark, black body, pours well. Dark caramel colored head. The head wasn't very big, I felt like I had to force it with the pour. Maybe it was too cold. Smell: Nice roasted barley aroma. The coffee comes through an some real big whiffs. Nice mocha/dark chocolate aroma too. As it warms, the coffee becomes more pronounced. Taste/mouthfeel: This is one bitter Impy stout. It definitely lets you know they added some hops to it. Smoky and woody with a pleasant mocha aftertaste. Mouthfeel feels thin at first, then really coats mouth and gets chewy. Warming as it goes down. The taste is nice, but there's no "wow" factor. Drinkability: I'd certainly have this again. I might enjoy this with a meal, whereas most imperial stouts I'd probably drink by themselves.
