Iniquity (Imperial Black Ale)
22oz bottle poured into cervoise A - Black centre with brown and reddish edging against the light. Tan tinged head and lacing. S - Roasty bitterness, decent hop smell of pine. You can smell the sweetness of the malt T - Interesting tasting brew. This has too much caramel malty sweetness to really bring out the hop bitterness associated with Black Ales. You can pick up some of the dry pine bitterness as well as some roasted coffee flavour from the malt. M - Not as heavy as I would expect out of a beer with an "Imperial" in the label. Very tacky on the back palate. D - This beer is decent, but not the best example of the style. Easy enough to drink but a weird sticky sweetness to it. Okay beer, still love ST stuff.
