Lateralus - Chocolate Malt
Lupulin Brewing

 

Pours extremely dark brown and nearly opaque. A very dark tan foamy head doesn't linger long. Modest but very clingy lacing.

Aromas of chocolate cake batter, cocoa, fudge, vanilla, and roast.

Chocolate everywhere. Some sweet, some bitter, all tasty. The vanilla and Whopper/malted milk flavor is very present as well. Sweet--of course, yet there is plenty of roasted bitterness to keep it between the lines.

Full bodied and tongue-coating. But not sticky. Sort of like a cola.

An excellent imperial stout. A little too simplistic to be "next level," but I would have it again.

 

 

Aroma is toasted/dark malts and big chocolate/almost chocolate ice cream. The flavor is slightly bitter dark malts, dark fruit and a big chocolate/mild mousse/acidic finish.
