Rich malt and roasted flavors round out layered notes of chocolate and banana esters in each sip, making this imperial milk chocolate stout bold and enjoyable.

On tap at 21 Amendment's San Leandro Brewery Tap Room

A: Pours rich dark brown with a light brown head that settles out and leaves a little spotty lacing here and there.

S: Banana comes right out, followed by cocoa and coffee, roasty earthy notes, a hint of smoke, and a touch of burnt sugar sweetness.

T: Opens with an interest almost tart cherry light acidity, followed by roasty earthy malt, coffee, cocoa, underlying bananas foster, and a little

M: On the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, the acidity kinda counters the slight creamyness.

O: This one is... different. Not sure what's up with the acidity, but definitely not what I was expecting, especially when the nose leads you in the right direction. Drinkable, but misses the mark.
