<i>Draught at Abbey Brewing Company Miami Beach, Florida.</i> Very black. Rich chocolate aroma. Very full bodied with loads of toasty malt, still the mouthfeel is gentle and soft. There’s notes of figs and a wealth of licorice in the finish. Powerful, yet refined.

Very dark brown. Peachy, hoppy aroma with coffeeish undertone. Sort of a thin body, with a deep burnt fruit character. Some coffeeish, nutty notes mid-palate, followed by a splash of alcohol in the finish. Has a thickness of body that lends a pleasing creaminess.

Draft... <b>This beer rocks!</b>... Pitch black ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. Excellent retention. The aroma provides hearty notes of chocolate, molasses and alcohol. Burnt, bitter-sweet flavor with heaps of chocolate, molasses and prune. Full-bodied and creamy with moderate carbonation. Bitter-sweet, burnt finish. <b>World class brew!</b>

<i>My Bottom Line:</i><br /> Grapey fruitiness and roasting molasses combine in a very healthy mouthfeel. This Imperial Stout is humble and drinkable and might please your dark malt desires.<br /> <br /> <i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br /> -The fruity, vinous nose boasts some roastiness too.<br /> -A veil of foam tops the opaque black.<br /> -All of their beers that day were quite fruity.<br /> -The roasty finish does benefit from some supporting hop bitterness.<br /> -Abv is well-hidden, which makes this beer quite drinkable for its size.<br /> -The surrounding cigar smoke in this tiny bar fits with this imperial stout quite well.<br /> <br /> <b>On tap at the brewpub.</b>
