Founders Imperial Stout
2010 vintage A: Inky black, coffee bean head. S: Roasted malt, coffee, smoke, dark chocolate. T: Dark chocolate and charred flavors at play with a little hop zing. Pure cocoa and black coffee in the finish with woody tannins, very bitter, a notable lack of sweetness. Mostly roasted characteristics. M: Creamy, well carbed but not over carbed. The flavor profile does not call for "motor oil" as a descriptor, not enough residual sugars. D: Good beer, but one and done.
