Imperial Stout
Opaque black brew with a short coffee colored head that, nevertheless, hangs on as a thin layer and manages to leave a trail of lace down the glass. The aroma is coffee, dark roasted malt, licorice and plums with a hint of dark chocolate and alcohol. The taste is similar, lots of rich dark coffee notes, dark chocolate, raisins, figs, plums, with a citric hops bite. The alcohol does not really intrude as taste but you know it's there. This is definitely "Big Beer", full bodied, creamy, almost oily mouthfeel, great for a cold fall or winter day. And the 750 ml matte black ceramic bottle with a toggle cap is impressive. This stuff could seriously hurt coronaholics.
