look: 3 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Poured from a 22oz bottle into my trusty oversized snifter. Bottled almost two years ago - 2/19/10. Can't wait to give this a taste.
A: Not bad. Wow, couldn't help but get some of the aroma as I poured...oxidized oak tanins all over my nose. Anyway...pours a fairly dark brown, not quite opaque. Minimal head that starts to fade before I even finished pouring. Alcohol legs every which way. No lacing.
S: I've never smelled a better Imperial Stout...period. Wonderful complex nose with too much to describe...hence the '5' rating. Bittersweet chocolate, roasty malt, slight char...a bit of hop bitterness there too...bourbon...oak...goes on and on.
T/M: All of what the nose offered, but gives more roastiness intitially...and rounds out at the end with a good bit of oak and char...such a wonderful beer...holy hell, I love it! Medium bodied...maybe just a touch thin for the style, but no worries. A bit of oxidation, but the body holds up to it.
O: I haven't tasted this fresh, but I'd imagine it has aged VERY well. This is one of those beers that once you've opened and tasted, you imediately regret your decision because you don't know when you might get to taste it again...THAT'S how good. An impecable Imperial Stout.
