4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 mansquito (1810) - washington, Washington DC, USA - MAR 1, 2012
Pizzeria Paradiso, Alexendria 10oz ($10): Pours a black color with a moderate brown head. Aroma has anise, roasted malt, and some definite Belgianesque quality to it. I liked sniffy it plenty. Fortunately, I had not problem sipping it either. This is kind of a mild Imperial Stout. It relies more on subtlety than it does on broad powerful gestures. The pepper is a nice touch without being overly spicy. There is a nice little mild sweetness. The mouthfeel is soft and velvety. I got this beer on a whim, and I cannot say that I did not thoroughly enjoy it. I kind of don’t understand where these low ratings are coming from.

Draft at the Birch. Pitch black as you’d expect. Thin tan head. The aroma is pretty caged but this drinks with a smoky bite. There’s a definite licorice kick as well. (#4458, 1/28/2012)

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Mortlach (433) - Rome, ITALY - JAN 18, 2012
09/05/2012 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Nera, impenetrabile, abbondante schiuma color cappuccino, morbida e persistente. Aroma intenso e molto interessante, caffettoso, con molta liquirizia, però alla lunga stanca un po’. In bocca è moderatamente dolce, caffè, liquirizia, con un finale pepato un po’ sgradevole. Manca un po’ di corpo e risulta anche leggermente acquosa. Gradazione alcolica un po’ bassa per una imperial stout.
