Dark Beards
LaBEERint Brewery

From a 500mL bottle brought over from Russia. Pours a clear coca-cola chestnut brown color. Looks black in the glass with a fluffy light tan head that falls to a thin off-white film. The nose is of roasted malt, molasses, milk chocolate, prunes, latte sweetness, vanilla, raisin bread. Medium mouth feel offers a good balance between the bitter roast and sweet chocolate malts, a bit ashy. The flavor offers a mild roastiness, caramelized brown sugar, fruit leather, unsweetened chocolate, toasted hazelnut, bitter earthy hops, and some charred wood. Glad I picked this one up; nothing too crazy, but overall, it's an enjoyable imperial stout.
