Brewer Description: (from bottle) Emerging from the deepest shades of darkness, a rolling crescendo of flavors burst forth from this robust stout. The thundering, hoppy appeal of Storm King subsides into the mellow subtleties of roasted malt, exhibiting an espresso-like depth of character in its finish. An exquisite blend of imported malts and whole flower American hops merge harmoniously in this complex ale.

Intro: A 12 fl. oz. bottle with an enjoy by date of 27th January 2021. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Dark dark brown to black in colour with a thin mocha head that dissipated fairly quickly and left some sparse lacing.

Taste: Roasted malts, piney hops, chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, light herbal and a hint of liquorice.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: A nice Imperial Stout, although I’m not too fond of the liquorice and herbal mix on the finish.
