From a 473ml can into a tulip
Imperial stout with chocolate and strawberries

APPEARANCE: Verly transparent, light brown pour yields a small, medium looking, light brown head with okay retention. Much lighter and clearer than others in the series. Head quickly recedes to a light wisp and ring. A light, splotchy wisp remains leaving no real lacing down the glass as it empties.

SMELL: Obvious aromas of strawberries and chocolate on the nose. Roasted notes and some light hints of vanilla and coffee as well. Good stuff.

TASTE: Strawberries and chocolate up front, with roasted malts, some bitter coffee and hints of vanilla at the swallow. Bold flavors at the finish, with hints of berries, chocolate, and roasted flavors lingering long after the swallow. Flavorful and very well measured.

PALATE: Medium-fuller body with medium levels of carbonation. Creamy on the palate, slightly silky, goes down smooth with a bit of a bite at the end, finishing somewhat mouth-coating. A touch of heat lingers.

OVERALL: Great stuff. This one is definitely lighter in color than I’d like for an imperial stout. It certainly doesn’t follow the other brews in this series, which are blacker and more opaque. It’s as if the strawberries added enough liquid to lighten up the color. In any case, the aroma and flavor profile are excellent, with a seemingly seamless combination of strawberries, chocolate, and roasted stout beer. It really is very well done. Highly recommended if you get the chance. Cheers!

Can: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of strawberry puree with some chocolate notes and light roasted notes. Taste is a mix of fresh strawberry puree with some light bitterness from roasted malt with some semi-sweet chocolate notes. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol notes. Enjoyable experiment but did not like this enough to try it again.
