adamjackson (1192) – Canaan, New Hampshire, USA – APR 27, 2013
2011 – 6/26 in a wine glass at cellar temp.A – Semi-viscous pour, half a finger head that fades faster than it takes to form
S – I get some burnt cedar, chocolate and prune juice. Vanilla bean and basic bourbon
T – Taste is pretty thin almost like a baltic porter. Heavy bourbon presence which is very smooth. Loads of vanilla and bitter chocolate at the finish
M – thick carbonation on the mouth feel, medium body and a very bitter finish.
O – Impressive but it seems like this is more of a boozy porter than an imperial stout.
I traded a four pack of Heady Topper for a bottle of this a couple months ago. I was wishing I had kept the heady topper. Not that it was a bad Imperial Stout, I was just expecting/hoping for more.
Correction, it was the non BBA that I had.
