Prodigal is an imperial oatmeal milk stout with a massive fudge and roast malt character. It’s a foundation for some of our favorite stouts, now here to stand on its own adorned with only a handful of cacao nibs and Madagascar vanilla beans to round out the edges.

Pour is a thick black motor oil with a fairly large tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate, fudge, cream and alcohol. Flavor is more fudge and chocolate with some bitter sweet chocolate left on the tongue as this goes down. Super thick mouthfeel that is like drinking Hershey chocolate syrup with some alcohol in it. Superb Impy stout with loads of chocolate and tons of malt that is neither sweet nor bitter.

Can - deep black pour - slick mouthfeel - a lot of fudge and vanilla - cocoa, light smoke, milk chocolate - well-masked alcohol - not as much depth as I’d want from something so strong, but smooth and drinkable.

bomber. Spicy cocoa and coffee nose, very deep and rich. Looks like motor oil. Light tartness on huge coffee and cocoa flavors. Rich and delicious, but no extra sweetness and it finishes nicely dry. Very impressive, delicious stuff.

Bottle shared by Pierluigi @Luppolo Station (thank you my friend!). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma media color cappuccino, mediamente persistente. Al naso note intensissime di cioccolato, vaniglia, caffè, alcol. In bocca è dolce all'attacco, rotonda, calda, avvolgente, con finale amaro caffettoso. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Eccellente.
