Has a lot of cocoa with roasted malt, very light coffee, hints of char taste. Has a medium thickness. Bitterness is fairly light but has a touch of sweetness to it. It’s a little dry too. Overall it kind of hits all the “imperial stout” check marks you want to see. I was rating a 3.9 but will go an extra .1 just for that. Greatest stout, no. Just damn good.
