Rating:8.3/10
Review:(Served in wine glass out of 22oz bottle)

  Appearance: The color is dark and heavy, light does not penetrate when it is held to it. Tan ginger head which quickly disperses leaving behind slight bubbles. Fair lacing. 

  Smell: Smells strongly of roasted malts and slight bitter cocoa. 

  Taste: Taste is smooth, rightfully smoother then one would expect from an imperial stout. It is heavy but slight creamy. A wide complexity of cocoa and roasted malts is experienced as it travels the tongue. 

  Mouthfeel: Heavy, but smooth and slightly creamy.

  Overall: It was a pleasant surprise to find an imperial stout with such a subtle mouthfeel and virtually no alcohol kick while still maintaining a pretty high ABV.
