July 20, 2005 - #11 of 365
Brewer: Rogue Ales (Oregon, USA)
Beer: Imperial Stout
Style: Imperial Stout
abv: 11.6%
Background: Twelve ounce bottle from the store. Bottled in 2003.
Appearance: Rich ebony with a small, dark head. Medium lacing.
Aroma: Thick aroma of chocolate, coffee, and dark bread. Very slight hop spice.
Flavor: Coffee, chocolate, alcohol, and raisins, in order of dominance. The alcohol is not overpowering, but noticeable. Some hops in the finish. Slightly metallic espresso aftertaste. Very rich.
Notes: Very much like Thirsty Dog’s Siberian Night. A newer bottle may have had a more noticeable hoppiness, but would also have had a sharper alcohol flavor. The flavors came together nicely in the older bottle.
Rating: 4.2 out of 5
