Tired Hands Brewing Company

 

Poured from a 16oz can into a pub glass. Can purchased on 10/22/22.

L- Totally pitch black color.

S- Subtle Black Forest cherry aroma.

T- Fabulous deep dark roasted malt flavor
that opens into a decadent fruity
cherry and vanilla flavor.

O- A superb Imperial Stout with complex
fruit and chocolate nuances!

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in October 2021. There was a canned on date of 10/19/2022. I bought the beer at their brew pub in Ardmore and drank it within a couple of days.

Appearance: Very dark black with a dark brown head. Head was about 2 fingers high, and lasted a minute. It left a little lacing on the glass, and ended with a thin tan head still on the beer.

Smell: Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. There is also some caramel, but overall the coffee and chocolate dominate the others.

Taste: There is a strong coffee, cherry, and chocolate flavors. Also some smoky roasted flavors, and I taste some licorice flavors. There is a small amount of bitter hop flavors to enhance the taste. There is a strong alcohol presence, which matches the 10% on the Tired Label website.

Mouth-feel: Full body but also smooth. It has a little edge as am Imperial Stout should, and is not as smooth as a milk stout.

This is a very good Stout, and I enjoyed the variety of bold flavors. There is a nice balance between the coffee and chocolate flavors. Only Void is one of my favorite stouts, and I like this version better. Even though it is a full-bodied beer, it is still smooth and enjoyable to drink. I would buy this again.
