Tasting Note:August 13, 2018

Pitch blackish brown with a solid light to medium brown head. Powerful nose just like a dark roast French press, followed up by mocha, vanilla and a bit nutty. Full bodied and thick, lush on the palate with layers of dark chocolate, a touch of marshmallows, roasted coffee beans and tons of mocha. Long and thick finish. Generally not a stout fan, especially imperial stouts, but this one is spectacular.

Beautiful Imperial Stout from Aslin Beer Company and Horus Aged Ales. As it says on the can this is conditioned with Vietnamese Coffe and Vietnamese Cocoa Nibs. This baby will also sneak up on you, labeled as 13.5% alc/vol but it is actually 18%! Drank out of a one pint can (16 oz).

Rating:

93+ points.

Price Point:

$$$ - Retail price $8.48 a can.
