King of Terrors - Four Roses Barrel-Aged
Copperhead Brewery

 

 

 

Pours pitch black with a thin foamy head. Head retention is very mild. Lacing is good. Thick chocolate and coffee aroma. Roasted malty goodness. The taste is the same. Thick chocolate goodness. Heavy bodied with mild carbonation.

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros. 750ml bottle /120.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice dark black hue with a fat dark chocolate head that fades to leave super thick lacing.

S - Big aromas of chocolate chip cookie dough, dark chocolate. Tons of bourbon and oak with light vanilla. Really rich with not much alcohol I the nose.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of sweeter malts. Tons of sweet oak barrel and tons of bourbon. There is a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and vanilla barrel.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, creamy, smooth. Not much alcohol, however, it creeps up pretty quickly. Great body.

O - Overall this was a very solid imperial stout. The barrel here is delicious. As great as this is though splitting a 750 two ways is still pretty rough.
