St. George Winter Stout

Bottle: Thick, dark brown (near black) pour with a small, creamy brown head. Heavy roast and chocolate flavors permeate the air. Coffee and molasses as well. The flavor is a smooth blend of chocolate and roast. Light amount of coffee. Very creamy, yet the high ABV is detectable. Thanks to The_Epeist for this trade item - a winter stout enjoyed in June!

Thanks for sharing Yaniv! Dark dark brown to black with a thin tan film of a head. Round soft lightly smoky nose. Light chocolate roast. Full, but dry. Creamy lower carbonation with decent viscosity. Lightly sweet chocolate. Smoke, alcohol and a bit of fruity roast. Lingering roast in the aftertaste. I don’t know if this is big enough to be imperial, but it’s not a bad beer at all.

Pours a near black with dark brown head. Lots of chocolate nose and roasty taste. Alcohol warming in the belly but not the mouth. Very velvety mouthfeel, bittersweet finish. Really good stout.
