Sampling a cellar temp 500 ml bottle poured into a snifter. Beer was picked up at the brewery October 2021 and has been cellared since. Was bottled 8/31/2021.
the beer unsurprisingly pours a jet black coffee color with a creamy tan head of .5 cm. This foam fades slowly down the glass but remains as a sturdy surface covering throughout the sampling. Nice dense lattice when I take a sip or swirl the glass.
Aroma is some roasted malts, sweet chocolate and a bit of sweetened coffee. I also get a little vanilla, but no ABV hints and hops are absent.
First sip reveals a medium body with gentle carbonation and a silky smooth texture. Feels like a nice Imp Stout, not too thick and very drinkable for the ABV.
Flavor is rich and malty with roasted notes and dark and sweet chocolate. Hints of sweetened coffee come through and then vanilla lingers a bit on the finish with some coffee grounds too. Never any hops. And booze is absent, makes this very drinkable for a bigger imp stout.
This is a tasty imperial stout, Ive enjoyed all three of the coffee monster variants. Nice series of nice beers.
