473ml can - a 'Brut Imperial Stout', so like an Imperial Irish Dry Stout? Whatever.
This beer pours a solid black abyss, with scant amber basal edges, and two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly fizzy brown head, which leaves a bit of dripping paint job profile lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of bready and toasted cereal malt, bitter cocoa powder, stale coffee grounds, and very subtle earthy, musty, and dead floral hops. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some free-range ashiness, sugar-free chocolate, coffee with skim milk, and more understated leafy, musky, and gently perfumed floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and sort of smooth, as all the moisture being sucked out of my mouth is just a little off-putting. It finishes, yeah, fucking dry, as if dry was a flavour unto itself.
Overall - I don't really get the point of something like this, other than the brewer being more of a fan of dark beer than pale ales, and they see the whole 'Brut IPA' thing, and want in. The beer isn't bad, it's just underwhelming, but we'll see what happens when the admittedly well-integrated big ABV kicks in.
