Southern Tier Brewing Co. Lakewood, NY
Imperial Stout
22oz Bottle
9.6% ABV
Appearance:
Pours black with awesome mocha brown cascade within…khaki colored head
that is pinky thick and luscious…(4.25/5)
Smell: Vanilla,
caramel, brown sugar, custard, candy, dark chocolate, milk chocolate…it’s all
in there…this thing is making my mouth water…YUM!!! (5/5)
Taste: Vanilla,
custard, caramel, sugar…YUM! A taste of tiramisu…it’s sweet without going
overboard, though the sugar and vanilla are the dominant flavors…the malt and
hops play second fiddle to all the sweet, candy flavors…has a chocolate coffee
aftertaste…(4/5)
Mouthfeel:
Carbonation forms milk chocolate shake feel all over the palette…medium
body, nothing overly done here…it comes, it goes, but it leaves lasting flavor…(4.25/5)
Overall: This
is good…it’s very sweet and flavorful, but it’s almost too much to still be
considered a “beer”…the alcohol is covered with tremendous flavor, though I
know one will do me good…i like it, but I wouldn’t make it a routine
selection…it would be tough to drink more than 22 ounces in one sitting, thus the overall doesn't necessarily match up with the individual parts…(3/5)
Score:
(4.21/5)
