Imperial stout conditioned atop direct-trade espresso beans from Brazil (Daterra), Costa Rica (Tarrazu), and Guatemala (San Jacinto)
Aromatically, this stout presents with freshly ground espresso beans. The flavor is inclusive of freshly pulled espresso shots, chocolate, roast, molasses, walnut, and red fruit (think raspberry or dark cherry); dry, with a balanced body, inviting mouthfeel, and bitterness. This stout is intentionally coffee-forward!

Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the glass with a finger's worth of tan foamy head which settled off nicely to leave a little bit of lace
Aroma: sweet coffee, dark coffee, earthy coffee, roasty tones, cocoa powder, baker's chocolate, dark chocolate and a little bit of sweet wafer malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty to sweet and a light earthy bitter quality; finishes leaning into the sweet tones of coffee, cocoa and those wafer-y malts
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; good smoothness and a little bit of roasty clingy-ness on the tongue
Overall: nicely done impy stout very worthy of returning to.

Can sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Ariel. Black, tan foam. Roast, lots of coffee, a bit vegetal, sweetish and bitter, ashy.

Single from Appalachian. I assumed this was some Eurisko & I grabbed it. :/ Couple of months in the fridge before I looked at it again. 5/22/23 canning. Pint glass @home. Very rich & dark molasses-y brown on black, opaque pour with a somewhat sturdy cocoa head. Super grassy/veggie green nose in front of the eventual coffee & char sweetness(which is super mild). This somewhat mellows out as it warms but leaves a lot to be desired. Bittersweet choco-coffee biscotti favor, middle is lots of ash bitterness that eventually makes way for a mostly dark chocolate finish with a little dark fruit & astringent char. Medium acid, lux feel, warming & borderline boozy. Good.
