Enjoyed watching the USA win their world cup match today. Now watching Scotland versus Morocco. It's Friday so why not have a powerful 13.5% Prairie imperial Stout. I know this is going to be good.
Almost non-existent head. Looks like syrup coming out of the bottle. Lots of flavor in that aroma. Bourbon and dark chocolate. Leaves a tan coating around the glass as it swirls. Heavy soft texture with an alcohol burn from the first. Sweet Hershey's dark chocolate, strong hit of bourbon modified slightly with oak barrel, and finally, finally toward the middle a touch of hazelnut. I love hazelnut, put it in my coffee each morning. I'm mostly getting it in the finish but early in the beer the bourbon alcohol overwhelms it. But that's okay. Heavy beers like this are my favorite and I slowly sip them so I get all of the pleasure in that finish before it's time for the next one. It only takes a little to go a long way on this brew.
