The Brew Kettle Strongsville, OH
Imperial Stout
10.8%
60 IBUs
22oz bottle
Appearance:
Black as oil as promised…a dark khaki head that settles in about a
finger width thickness…(4/5)
Smell: Strong
chocolate notes blended with oatmeal and malt…chocolate is dominate
throughout…really not overly eventful unless you like huffing coco essence…(3.25/5)
Taste:
Coffee and chocolate flavors explode as soon as they hit my tongue…oatmeal
malt and hops are the underbelly as expected…robust all around leaving very
little room for bitterness…apparent it’s a higher alcohol content beer…(3.5/5)
Mouthfeel: Fluffs
right up, creating a milk chocolate clouds that lingers…oatmeal and malt
flavors consume back of my tongue…one drink lasts a while, but it’s hard to
cover the alcohol taste…(4/5)
Overall: The
flavor is fantastic, chocolate and coffee notes blend fantastically with the
malt and hops…the carbonation makes a cotton candy like fluff that is very
flavorful…I recognize that it’s an imperial stout, but the alcohol is a bit too
dominant…it could be toned down a bit and that would create a more balanced,
flavorful beer…(3.75/5)
Score:
(3.64/5)
