Onyx black body with a dense tan head and no leakage on the edges after an aggressive pour, this is screaming imperial stout.
The nose is some char and a LOT of rich milk chocolate, no discernible barrel notes - but some ripe fruit notes - dare I say stone fruit?
I dare. There’s fruit in this, probably dark cherries.
The char and milk chocolate are forward on the taste, but I’m definitely picking up slightly tart cherry flavors, especially as this warms on a gorgeous spring evening in Northern Indiana.
The mouthfeel is full, rich, and creamy, commensurate with the style. This is a great dessert beer - a grownup’s chocolate covered cherries, if you will. I have this in the 4.50 range. Absolutely love it.
