Inspiration guides us here at Clown Shoes. The concept for this Imperial Stout begins with the singular quiet serenity of water. A vision of a Japanese maple tree weathering a snow storm presented itself. Looking closer, I saw frolicking Manchurian cranes in Clown Shoes. Weird. Yes! But nice!

Coffee brown beer. Soft-looking beige head with better than average retention: 3,75/5
The aroma has a wonderful, pungent maple scent with soft bourbon and vanilla notes. A small amount of liquorice and coconut as well. Roasty coffee, chocolate...really really nice: 4,5/5
The mouthfeel is only medium, and thus a bit too thin for my liking. Nevertheless, the beer feels quite nice when bitterness, barrel and then alcohol warmth give you something to think about: 3,75/5
The taste is malty, chocolate, dark roasted coffee, maple sweet with bourbon/coconut-like ending: 11/15
Tasty, and complex but still, somewhat lacks character. Especially the mouthfeel which just feels too light and easy: 15,5/20
=38,5/50

Riktigt god stout, fina smaker med en välbalanserad kropp. God eftersmak som ligger kvar länge. Inte så söt, vilket tilltalar mig. Kanske inte full pott men mycket god 😋
