Boot Cut Shorts
Hoof Hearted Brewing

1 PINT can
Served in a snifter

This beer pours black and is topped with an inch of mocha head that leaves no lacing.

I smell coffee and pepper. There is some dark chocolate and hints of vanilla. The cinnamon appears as it approaches room temperature.

Coffee is upfront. I get hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. There is dark chocolate in the finish with a little vanilla. The coffee really builds as I drink it. The vanilla comes out more as it warms.

Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

This is a good stout. The cinnamon is weak. That is a plus for me.

 

 

 

 

 

16 ounce can, canned on 1/21/2019, collaboration with DSSOLVR. Served in a Hoof Hearted Teku, the beer pours dark brown/black with almost an inch tan head that stayed around a while. There's a small amount of lacing. I like the aroma a lot, the brew smells like cinnamon, peppers, nutmeg, cocoa, vanilla, cream and roasted malt. For the most part I think the taste is just like the aroma, but there's also the addition of some coffee and burnt/charred flavors. Chili pepper flavor is noticeable but not overpowering, although the heat slightly increases as the beer warms. Wouldn't call this hot, though. All the flavors seem to mesh well together with no one flavor dominating the others. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's coating and smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation. The 13% ABV is hidden well. I think this is a pretty good imperial stout, definitely worth buying!
