Founders Imperial Stout
Thanks to a colleague at my work for getting this for me. Poured into a snifter. Pours very thick almost like syrup on pancakes in my glass.Opague black with a tiny light brown covering some lacing globs throughout. Heavy,Heavy,Heavy. Smell is naturally dominant in roasted malts,chocolate, slightly sweet lactic aroma. Subtle hop presence. Taste is all chocolate.Followed with a sweeter caramel backing. Slight fruit taste of plum,raisins,even fig. Hot on the breath with a blast of hot alcohol on the palate.A slight smoke as well in the finish. Mouth is very thick and syrupy. Slick texture,full bodied a slight chore to sip. A solid R.I.S. and I do like just about everything I've had from Founders but this to me doesn't belong in the Top 100 beers of the world. Very basic.
