Can from Maekchu. Big chocolate, cocoa, fudge in the nose. Pitch black. Soft flavors of cocoa, fudge, with a dry and bitter, roasty finish. An excellent no-additives imperial stout.

Pretty damn close to perfect for an imperial stout, at least as far as the flavor profile goes. Infinite darkness in a bottle; tons of roast and char, bittersweet chocolate, molasses, anise, bitter coffee, black cherry, and hints of molasses and caramel. Dry and bitter, viscous and potent, dark and forbidding, boozy and mean. No barrels, no adjuncts, just pure stout glory. Fuck yeah, New Realm.
