I picked up this 16.9 oz bottle at the brewery about a year ago, so they had already aged it some for me. The bottle has been in my cellar since then.
The beer pours into my snifter at cellar temp a black coffee color and no light passes through my glass on this one. A dense creamy beige head of 4 cm overtops the glass but doesnt spillover. Leaves very tight lattice as the foam fades back down my glass.
The aroma on this one is sort of mild overall. I get some dry bakers chocolate, rich fudge, and I keep getting whiffs of banana. Which is kinda weird, and doesnt dominate at all, but it is in the background frequently. No hop character here and no hint of the 12% ABV either.
First sip reveals a medium to light body, a little thinner than anticipated and also has very fine and soft carbonation. The beer drinks pretty easy for a 12% imperial stout.
The flavor is similar to nose, bakers chocolate and some fudge and some high cacao slightly bitter chocolate too. Not a sweet big beer and no hops and still no ABV poking through.
This is a decent enough imperial stout, its not flawed anywhere and hiding 12% ABV is a pretty good trick. I think I would pass on getting another bottle though.
