American Double / Imperial Stout | 9.00% ABV

Notes:
In honor of the 40th anniversary of the original release of Bitches Brew, Miles Davis' 1970 paradigm-shifting landmark fusion breakthrough, we've created our own Bitches Brew -- a bold, dark beer that's a fusion of three threads of imperial stout and one thread of honey beer with gesho root. It's a gustatory analog to Miles' masterpiece.

A- Pitch black with a frothy mocha colored head.

S- Huge roasted malts, chocolate, honey, wood, vanilla.

T- Big roasted malts up front with an earthy flavor in the middle that has wood and vanilla notes. Towards the end the honey kicks in for a smooth and sweet finish.

M- Full bodied with high carbonation. Definitely a sipper.

O- Good offering. Different from a lot of imperial stouts in a good way.

Serving type: on-tap

2012 vintage. Served in a snifter

Appearance: Pours jet black with 2 fingers of a dark tan, almost brown head. Body is completely opaque.

Smell: Roasted malt, cocoa, light smoke, toffee, molasses.

Taste: Dark chocolate, roasted malt, raisins, honey, earth, light caramel/toffee sweetness, and some slight smokiness. Finish and aftertaste is a nice balance of honey sweetness and roasted coffee bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, high/medium carbonation. Booze is hidden well.

Overall: One of my favorite offerings from Dogfish head. The base beer is solid and the addition of the honey beer really adds to it and helps set it apart from some of the other great imperial stouts out there. Definitely worth picking up a bottle.
