Dark brown colour with some copper-ruby highlights and what looks like tiny articles through it. A warm-beige head, creamy-frothy, decent lasting and leaving a foamy ring and some lacing spots. Grounded coffee aromas over the roasted malt base with hints of molasses, raisins and even apples. A tad whiskey and cacao also appear. The molasses notes pipe up in the taste, with the coffee blending in. Some nice mild bitterness with a good drying finish, where a touch of grassiness shows up. The alcohol is nicely hidden, and the mouthfeel has a nice thick-smoothness. Quite an easy-drinking, 11% Imperial Stout with blending coffee and more.
