Hunahpu's Imperial Stout
Split with airohead2001. Poured into a snifter. A: This beer has the darkest head I have seen. I would describe the head as dirt brown. Nice retention and nice lacing. The beer itself is black. S: I thought this smelled like a candy cane dipped in salsa, plus a little bit of ethanol. Not exactly what I consider pleasant. T: Some sourness up front and then a lot of the chile at the finish. Some cinnamon and chocolate in there as well, but not as noticeable. I recently had the bourbon county stout with ancho chiles and thought that it had a similar profile to this beer, but found the bourbon county to be much more rounded, and interesting. M: Nice viscosity, but a bit overcarbonated for my liking. D. Fine. I enjoyed trying this beer, but would not search it out again.
