Best Before End: Mar-2020 (Consumed Mar-1)
It pours pitch black with an all right dark tan head. Head fades to a thin cap that is very speckled looking due to the foam structure. The lacing is similarly speckled. The nose has chocolate, molasses, faint black cherries, brown sugar, medium roast. The flavor is more on the mocha side than the nose is and it's very smooth. Coffee, dark chocolate, earthy 'dark'ness. There is a hint of oxidation in the nose that doesn't follow through to the flavor. This beer is seriously smooth with a bit shy of a full body, moderate carbonation. I honestly don't know that I've had a British Imperial Stout other than old imported bottles of Samuel Smith's. I love how mellow it tastes compared to what is expect based on smell based on American examples. Well-hidden alcohol and a nice round flavor and feel make for a rich, warming beer.
