Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout
A lovely and lasting thick tan coloured head on a black creamy rich looking stout beer.
The aroma is pronounced and consists of coffee/bitter chocolate laid over with a citrus, slightly orange scent.
The feel is very thick, rich and creamy. You definately know that you have something in your mouth when you drink this one.
Tastes are wonderful. a full rich bitter chocolate with toasted grains and lots of dark berries. I even found a hint of milk chocolate taste in here.
It's like a traditional stout but with more of everything including a hint of alcohol taste towards the end.
The finish is a lasting citrus sparkle which pulls everything together.
With a spicy beef stew on a cold winter night it would be hard to find anything better.
Long live Imperial Stouts!
