Black Liquids Vol. 8
Bellwoods Brewery

Got this one from Peensteen last summer. Cheers!

From a 473ml can into a snifter
Imperial stout with Coconut and Mylko & Reunion Cofee

APPEARANCE: Clear black pour yields a three finger, medium looking, slightly creamy tan head with great retention. Black body with no real carbonation evident. Head eventually recedes to a full, creamy cap. Slight wisp remains leaving falling dots of lacing down the glass as it empties.

SMELL: Lots of roasted and creamy coffee aromas with vanilla cream, milk chocolate, some baker’s chocolate and cookie dough on the nose. Nice but could be a little more forthcoming.

TASTE: Creamy and roasted coffee with vanilla cream, milk chocolate, some butterscotch notes as well as roasted malts up front. Some booze as well. A bold finish of sweet cream, butterscotch, milk chocolate, some cookie dough, as well as roasted coffee and cream with a touch of alcohol linger on the palate. No bitterness and not overly roasted.

PALATE: Fuller body with lower levels of carbonation. Creamy and silky on the palate, slick, goes down smooth and finishes sticky on the palate. No heat.

OVERALL: This is like a beer mocha late. There’s a bit of roasted flavors up front, but this is mostly sweet and creamy with very little bitterness. Definitely delicious. The full, thick and silky body makes it all the better in my books. This is something I could drink on a regular basis. Lovely stuff and one I hope to see again at some point. Thanks again, peensteen! Always appreciated.

 

 

 

 

Crazy thick body from..coconut milk. With the chocolate, sweet enough as dessert to pour over pancakes. Bottle pour from the source. Extreme novelty.
