From a growler via DEPS in a snifter. This unique imperial pours a dark
brownish black with p[ale cola highlights and a head that dies flat as a fritter
to a thin ring. Nose of tons of cocoa and dark nib goodness with char and
coffee mingling with earthy roasted elements. Flavors nail a perfect desert
imperial stout with liquid fudge and notes of vanilla that intertwine nicely with
char and roasted elements with a hint of smoked and roasted ancho peppers on
the rear that are faintly warm. Coffee and hints of earthy malts show with some warmth
which is most likely the ancho element. Slick mouth feel; coating, non-existent carbonation,
smooth, and lightly warming between pepper and alcohol heat.
Overall a solid stunner that could use some carbonation. Almost every photo I saw online
is flat with few exceptions of a tumultuous pour to display a hint of foam. That said it is
still a delectable brew worth trying and if bottled would be worth hoarding. Like a
less volatile version of Prairie BOMB! series as in more approachable with less alcohol.
