Overall Rating:
Type: Russian Imperial Stout
Maker: Founders Brewing Company
Appearance
Black oil coloring, thick and viscose exit from the bottle. Dark khaki head, with a thick foamy consistency that lasted a good while. Golden-khaki beads of carbonation rise to the occasion of moderate pace. Washy sheet lacing.
Rating: 4 / 5
Aroma
This is an aroma that will be savored by coffee aficionados, chocoholics, cigar expects, sommeliers, and stout fanatics alike. It is at once rich, roasty, and lush, brimming with cocoa, coffee, and smoke flavours.
Rating: 3.5 / 5
Taste
Flavor was creamy, darkly roasted coffee, burnt chocolate sweetness with some dried vanilla creamer that delivered an earthy roasted bitterness of an acrid degree. Toasted dry nutmeg, dark, moist coffee grounds with a freshly roasted nature of dark fruit and toasted caramel sweetness. Earthy, silty mineral of charred woodiness, smoky, with some hints of fresh tobacco. Very good level of complexity and structure.
Rating: 4.5 / 5
