Rhythm Of The NIght (Batch 6)
River Roost Brewery

 

 

 

This one pours a silky looking dark black color, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells like dried dark fruit, tobacco, leather, milk chocolate, vanilla, rye spice, molasses, and roast.

This is pretty elegant and complex. It's got a lot of little complexities from the various barrels. It feels like port is driving the train here, with a sort of dried fruit leather (and actual leather, too) thing going on that is excellent. There's some cherry, and oak, along with a touch of rye spice from the other barrels. There's some vanilla and molasses sweetness, and a creamy sweetness on the end.

This is medium bodied, not super thick, but still, quite drinkable and not thin. There's a lower level of carbonation.

I've only bad B1 and now B6 from this series, but it's clearly a cool little series.

Poured into a 13 oz tulip glass bottled on 6/3/2020. Pours midnight black with a finger plus mocha head that settles extremely quick leaving little, if any lace. 4

Smell is deep dark chocolate, vanilla bean, roasty dry coffee beans, back strap molasses, leather, and oaked bourbon. 4.25

Taste follows dark chocolate, strong roasted coffee, molasses, vanilla, and woody bourbon. 4.25

Mouthfeel is a tad thin for a BA Imperial Stout, a little under carbonated, very dry, and not sure of the ABV but I would guess around 11% it goes down easy enough and the flavors make you want to sip it often. 3.75

Overall I wish it was thicker, more carbonated, and we knew the ABV but I actually am still as a whole digging it. Pretty darn complex and slightly boozy. 4
