First impressions of our Standard Crude Imperial Stout right out of the brite tank on December 17th. Nicely carbonated with a lasting tan head that measures a finger or two. Nose to glass revels toasty characteristics with some single origin coffee notes coupled with blackberries. The taste is a real reversal when compared to our Hyperion Double Stout...toasty flavors up front with dark chocolate notes in the back. I get a bit of that 10.3% as well...not overwhelming though...just a little extra warmth...a nice touch for the cooler weather. And the mouthfeel has some weight to it but it also has a fantastic velvety quality as well.
