Served in a snifter at the Union Brewhouse in Weymouth.
Appearance: A one finger off white head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is a pitchblack color with no vision of anything. Spotty lacing down the glass as the beer was drank.
Smell: Milk chocolate, roasted, toasted, caramel, molasses, ashy, dark fruits, and warm alcohol.
Taste: Pretty much everything smelled comes out on the palate. Light bitterness and chewy notes. Warm alcohol in the rear.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium to full bodied, light ashy bitterness, a little chewy, medium carbonation, and warm boozy alcohol.
Overall: A nice Imperial stout. Could use more sweetness from the malts. Still an enjoyable stout though.

Tasted from a goblet at Union Brewhouse in Weymouth. This is the beer from Beer Camp #138. An Imperial Stout brewed with cocoa nibs and Mandarin oranges.
The beer pours dark but bright, with a modest light head. Not much aroma, per style. Rich malt flavor with a prominent dark chocolate note. Silky mouthfeel, reminiscent of a dark chocolate Dove bar. The only hint of orange is a slight pith bitterness on the finish.
