Arcadia Imperial Stout

Brewed by Arcadia Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Battle Creek, Michigan USA

Black Coloring with Good Head. Bit Strong Overall from the Alcohol. Almost Syrapy Mouthfeel..Some Good Malt There...Hard to Detect Anything Else.

acquired via trade with TAR. pours BLACK with a tan foamy head. I’ve never seen a bottle ooze foam like this one! poured about half the bottle into my .3L snifter and set the bottle down, then for several minutes the bottle looked like one of those snake fireworks things you would light as a kid, only in slow motion. it just kept oozing foam out of the top of the bottle. Oh yeah, back to the beer, sticky and sweet with a flavor of roasted malts, coffee, dark fruits and bittersweet chocolate. a bit too much carbonation for my taste, the carbonation seems to deract from the flavors in a way. Overall a nice IS, just a little different. Thanks Jeff!

Pours black, with a nice sized tan/brown head. Aromas are roasted malt, chocolate, hops, and a slight fruitiness. Smooth, fairly heavy body. Flavors are roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee.

Black color with a medium tan head. Not much aroma at all, just a faint hint of barley. More in the flavor, but nothign else to match or enhance it. More like a weak barley wine than a stout.

A beautiful pitch black beer with a foamy dark brown head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of fruit, citrus, chocolate and some hops. Coffee and roasted malt in the flavor. Soft and complex with nice chocolate notes. Smooth and delicious.

Poured very black with a small tan head. Heavy aroma of raisins and figs with some chocolate. Verry sweet flavor of Chocolate, raisins, figs and a bit of coffee. This mouthfeel. Good stout!

Tight, creamy head. A visually appealing stout - near perfect. The aroma is heavy - musty plums, raisens, whiskey and plenty of roasty beans. Complex body with strong notes of cherry, chocolate and some alcohol. Wonderfully complex for the pricetag!

12oz bottle-thanks to Wolhfs for this fine MI stout. pours pitch black with a dense tan head. carbonation is lively and the bubbles in the head are all the same size. aroma is vineous with a slight sour note that ingraves its way into your nostrils. other aromas include dark chocolate, dark fruit, cherries (especially as it warms). Flavors of roast, chocolate, with that slight sour twang. The burnt note comes in the finish that meanders into a smokey/ash flavor that goes on for infinity. Medium body that is slightly fizzy when cold, but after it warmed a little, became much rounder (as it should). No alcohol detected whatsoever. another winner from the great north (MI).
