Black Is Beautiful
Saint Arnold Brewing Company

A: Pours an opaque black color. A one finger beige head forms with good retention. That recedes to a ring with light lace left behind.
S: Bakers chocolate up front with light roasted malts. Some char and liquorice. A simple but well executed imperial stout.
T: I love the unsweetened bakers chocolate here. That roasted malt and char character again, along with liquorice. Some coffee and lingering bitterness from the roast.
M/O: A full body, and like most beers from Saint Arnold this has higher carbonation. Which might be too high for the style, but that is something I have never minded. As this breaths it becomes smooth. The alcohol is nowhere to be found, and this is a good sipper.

A really good imperial stout. I'm glad I got to try the base beer without all the additives and flavorings a bunch of the other breweries are doing with this release. Just quality and well made, as should be expected from Saint Arnold. Definitely recommend if at the brewery.
