A barrel aged imperial stout from Martin House. All positives so far. I am taking a cooled 12 oz can out of the two-pack and tilting into my Cowtown tulip glass. A totally black liquid with a frothy top of dark tan foam. The nose is top level for the style, dark chocolate, grain and booze. And the drink improves on that. Baking chocolate, whole grain bread, a whiskey taste and burn, oak, a bit of caramel and just a hint of berries. Another fine imperial stout from Martin House, how many have I tried now?
