Negation (Ghost Negation)
Adroit Theory Brewing Company

The pour is stout black with a light brown head that leaves little lacing, fairly appropriate for the style.
The taste is coffee forward, chocolate follows closely, and then a hint of bitterness, whether it was from roasted malts or hops I couldn't tell.
The feel has good body, they obviously load up the malts while brewing this.
OA, another really good RIS from Adroit.

Appearance – 4
First pour – Deep Brown (SRM 30), opaque.
Body – Deep Brown (SRM 30), opaque. Under direct light, same. When rear-lite, same.
Head – Average (Maximum 2.2 cm, aggressive center pour), high density, Tuscan tan lightening to tan as it oxygenates, average retention. It recedes to a 0.3 – 0.5 cm head and thin cap, fed by continuing lively carbonation.
Lacing – None – not unexpected at 12% ethanol.
Aroma – 4 – Mild roasted malt with hints of char. No yeast, no hops, no alcohol.
Flavor – 4.25 – Slightly bitter turning slightly sweet. Roasted malt, coffee, chocolate. Hints of “dark fruit.” No yeast, no hops. No alcohol (12 % ABV, according to the label). No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl. Moderate gastric warming occurs.
Palate – 4 – Full: creamy: lively carbonation.
Style: Follows the style guidelines as condensed by BA.

Final impression and summation: 4 (After deducting 0.25 point for an undated personal container) Typical unsigned symmetric metal label art. This is a good but not outstanding take on the Russian Imperial Stout. Roast malt, coffee, hints of dark fruit, beginning slightly bitter and ending slightly sweet.
