Even More Pecan Pie Jesus
Evil Twin Brewing

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Oily black pour, patchy brown head. Aroma is roast malts with some sugary sweetness. Pecan flavors blossom in the taste, molasses, and some roasty bitterness. More bitter than sweet, smooth.

 

 

L: Jet black color, two finger brown head, messy lacing, no visible carbonation.

S: Sweet, chocolate, coffee, alcohol. Smells wonderful!

T: Sweet, chocolate, coffee, alcohol. Baaang!

F: Medium bodied, tons of flavor.

O: Another world class offering from Evil Twin.

slightly peacan taste - smooth stout - could have used more peacans

 

 

 

 

 

Single from Bine and Vine in San Diego.
Pours a thick black with tight short lived reddish brown head.
Aroma caramel malt, toffee, molasses, a bit of chocolate, and vaguely nutty.
Taste follows with sweet chocolate malt, caramel, toffee, and rich molasses; as warmed a bit of nuttiness, finishes with a bittersweet note.
Medium full mouthfeel - surprisingly less rich than its namesake - smooth, sweet but not cloying. Quality imperial stout but do prefer the original Even More Jesus.

 

 

On tap at the Pour Taproom in Greenville SC.
Pours very dark brown with reddish-brown edges and a decent if a bit bubbly tan head.
Sweet aroma that's a bit like Pecan pie but certainly has more vanilla.
The rich flavor delivers some roasted pecan notes and is less sweet than the aroma suggests. The pecans linger on in the aftertaste.

16oz can into a Surly tulip.

A: DARK (gotta love that), with a dark brown head that returns with a quick swirl.

S: Dark molasses and pecans, walnuts. Dry and not entirely appetizing. Missing some of the decadent sweetness I associate with Pecan Pie.

T: Follows the nose, the nuttiness hits you first and twists into a dryness. Molasses sweetness follows - caramel as well? Again, missing that "desserty" character that I want.

MF: Medium-to-full bodied but drying.

O: Wouldn't search this one out again, didn't hit the notes that I was hoping it would. Yes - it tastes like Pecans. No - it doesn't taste like Pecan Pie. But overall, not bad.

 

 

Can: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size brown foamy head with OK retention with light lacing. Aroma of sweet chocolate malt notes with some light hazelnut/pecan notes also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of sweet chocolate malt notes with some light hazelnut/pecan notes and heavy molasses notes can also be detected. Body is pretty full with oily texture and good carbonation with no real apparent alcohol notes. Not bad but a bit overwhelming.

 

Appearance: Black with a medium-sized dark beige head that gradually faded. A nice looking Imperial Stout

Smell: Molasses and roasted malt aromas. The nose is appealing though not upfront

Taste: The taste profile features molasses and roasted malt notes just as the nose suggested. The beer has a restrained alcohol presence for the listed 12% ABV. I get a mild nuttiness but I'm not sure if that's due to the power of suggestion by me knowing that pecan extract was added. The beer tastes like a prototypical stout.

Mouth-feel: On the lighter side of full bodied with a medium level of carbonation. The body is spot on where it needs to be.

Overall: A very good Imperial Stout which tastes like a true stout which has an upfront roasted malt profile. the molasses works well with the stout base and I like the fact it's roasted malt profile isn't dulled as so many stouts are today to please the masses. The beer has a nice full-bodied mouthfeel also.
