Luxuriously malt, eager to please and effortless in palatability, Blue Stallion Brewing kicks off Lexington's Craft Beer Week 2017 with a decadent malt bomb. Almonds and vanilla sooth the roast of the imperial stout and drag it into dessert land kicking and screaming.
Velvet Lurker pours a very dark brown, hair's shade of espresso black and with a creamy blanket of froth that skirts the glass wall to wall. With foam character short, it's the mesmerizing scent of dark chocolates, caramel, and roasted almonds that lure the senses and sooth the scent. Lavish sweetness awaits as the backdrop of caramel and toffee play into the chocolate and nuttiness with ease.
As the taste meanders through the tastebuds, the velvety stout seeps deeply into each and every tastebud, rewarding them with copious dessert flavors from brownie batter to tiramisu, to malty milkshakes and with a milk chocolate silkiness that's hard to ignore. As the flavors tighten, the sweetness lifts and the bitterness creeps in. Broad and woodsy, the char begins to share its espresso roast, bitter cocoa and gentle wafts of campfire s'mores.
Full in body, the stout is creamy and lush on the palate. Its light carbonation allows for the light viscosity of the beer to apply its own creamy weight on the tongue before a continued fade toward a bittersweet aftertaste of almond, cream and roast.
