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.
