22nd Anniversary Vanilla Imperial Stout
Pours a deep brown, almost black with a tight, mocha head that leaves a solid ring of lacing. Smells of big vanilla and chocolate notes. Tastes of a big dose of vanilla followed by more standard stout characteristics. Vanilla is definitely the focus with a gigantic wave of it right up front. Some brown sugar sweetness, chocolate and light coffee notes back it up. Has a bit of an adult milk chocolate feel to it. Not much bitterness to speak of, but sweetness is pleasant. Mouthfeel is medium-fulll with a smooth amount of carbonation. Overall, nothing groundbreaking, but if you want to try a good vanilla aged stout, this is worth a shot.
