Imperial Stout with rum, brewed at Mountain Goat as a three-way collaboration between Goat, Moon Dog and Matilda Bay. Tried at the launch at Mountain Goat during Good Beer Week in Melbourne.
Pours a deep black-brown with an inconsistent but very fine head of mocha coloured foam. Tight leopard-spotting lace. Body is firm and liquid. This really looks the business.
Nose is sweet but bright, with deep, dark high-cocoa chocolate notes leavened with a fresh, bright grassy character. That would drop out with a bit of age, and would probably really smooth out nicely. As it is, it's a bit young, but still very pleasant.
Taste is similar in some respects. It has a deep dark undercurrent throughout, but is leavened with that grassy greenness. It's not softened by being particularly smooth or sweet, although there is a touch of oak flavour on the back. It's more that the underlying lightness manages to force itself on the palate, and make you realise it's not just about the heavy dark malt.
Nice beer all up, in fact very good indeed. Longer aging would help it, but that would just be turning a very good beer into an exceptional one.
