Tröegs Scratch 5

Formerly brewed at Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Hershey, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Snifter

Pours dark brown with a lasting tan head. Smells of roasted malt, chocolate, some dark fruit, cherries and spices. Tastes bitter and sweet with lots of caramel, roasted malt, intense molasses and some sugar. Some alcohol presence is there in a complimentary way.

Pours a dark brown color into the snifter that was lighter brown around the edges. No lacing to speak of. A weak scent of cocoa, cofee and malt. A rather thin taste with not much complexity...an easy drinking, almost sessionable impy stout if ever there was one. Very scary that this was almost 10% alc...I would have never guessed.

12 oz bottle via MYS SWAP 3.0 (GOT MULTIPLE bottles, thanks everyone). Looking forward to this one!! Pours a near black with brown edges and a large tan head. Nose is fusel alc and mild fruity easters. Tastes like it smells with a bit of roastiness and some pine and soy. Has quite an alcoholic bite in the finish. Body is medium and carbonation is high. NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT...

bottle, small head with a sweet nose and chocolate , coffee and roast flavors

Faint aromas of oak barrel or perhaps oats, different types of chocolate, taste is light Hersheys chocolate syrup,with distinct coffee and caramel overtones,somewhat rich body ,spoiled only by a slight carbonic bite,that thins it out some,and detracts from the Oatmeal smoothness. Thanks Kingpin

Clear brown body with a small wispy tan head. Lightly sweet nose with chocolate, brown sugar, cola, oats and raisins. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter taste with lots of chocolate, oatmeal, molasses, roast and cola. Medium/full body is round with moderate carbonation.

Bottle, Black/brown pour with 1 finger thick beige head. Sweet Malt Aromas with hints of chocolate and roast. Same in taste but a little thinner then I like but had a good bitter finish. Not bad.

Big thanks to Kramer. Black pour, small almond head. Aroma is licorice, raisens and chocolate with some roasty notes. Flavor is bittersweet chocolate, caramel sweetness and a hoppy finish. Dark chocolate dominates with roasted malts and coffee in the background and a medium caramel sweetness. Citrus hops finish it off and is just the right amount. Licorice and anise are in the background as well the whole time. Pretty thick body and a nice slick finish. Just a damn good imperial stout.
