Brickway Epic Blackout

(Tap) clear, bright, very dark reddish brown color with a small brown head; aroma of soy sauce, jam; thick palate; balanced flavour with a long, medium bittersweet finish

Can thanks to AJ. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong smoke, roast, oak, licorice. Slick body, roast, dark chocolate, oak, vanilla, licorice, alcohol well hidden, really enjoyed this.

Ridiculously rich dark brown coloured body with almost no head at all - what is there is tan coloured. Aroma of super roasted malt and a lot of licorice, tons of brown sugars and a heavy note of honey, yeast and loads of alcohol. Rich, super full-bodied; Bright notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, honey, molasses and licorice dominate and leave the mouth very sweet with some lighter yeast and roasted malt flavours at the finish. Coffee, milk and especially chocolate make this very nice and very smooth, incredibly easy to drink for 17,0%! Aftertaste shows a ton of malts with a big honey and licorice finish with the alcohol of course and a lot of lactose around the fringes. Overall, a very nice Imperial Stout that i'm very happy to sample in a 4 ounce pour instead of a full pint or in a bottle/can, this is a nice beer, but very heavy! I sampled this four ounce pour as part of a flight of six at the brewpub in Omaha, Nebraska on 16-March-2018 for US$10,50 for all six, sampled while here in the Old Market.

Draft this was brewed for Omaha Beer Week 2016. Pitch black color, thin off white head. Aroma is dark chocolate, roast, and of course a touch of booze. Flavor is strong base of chocolate and roast with a mellow amount of booze. Good, fuller body. Never would guess it was 17% until I finished the sample. Can a 17% fresh stout be smooth??? This kind of is... Nice job on this one.
