It's Good!


Hiya,
I gave the Imperial Stout a try today and it was really very good! I know most people are biased towards their home brew, but I tend to be overly self-critical about my beer. I figure I'll go through a review like I do on beeradvocate.com if only for my own edification.

Serving type: Bottle poured into an Imperial pint glass. 8% ABV

Appearance: Pitch black with about two fingers head.
Smell: Malt, some herb and sugar smell.
Taste and Mouth-feel: Very malty, bitter, some coffee and chocolate. Heavy and big in the mouth (that's what she said) but without the slickness of an oatmeal stout. Some lingering sweetness in the aftertaste.
Drinkability: I limited myself to one so that I have plenty to share in the coming months, but I felt like maybe one more could be possible. There is not a lot of alcohol in the taste, but it does kick, limiting the drinkability to a degree.

Please let me know if you want some and I'll try to get it to you, I am waiting on the label though so it may take a little longer (presentation is everything is it not?).

Slainte!
-J
