Description
Robust and warming, this stout has hints of coffee and dark chocolate. A complex variety of roasted malts, and moderate hopping temper the pleasant sweetness of this brew. This special batch lurked in our cellar until our brewers felt it was worthy of its name.

This is a big, rich Imperial Stout. Both the aroma and flavor give a very pleasant blend of chocolate, licorice caramel, dark fruits (fig and raisin) all tied together by a soft and pleasant alcohol character. There is a light, floral hop flavor and a finish of roasted malt, and the bitterness both from the hops and roasted malt hangs around for a good while. The inviting aroma, lovely flavor and smooth finish make you want to just keep on sipping this beer all night long.
