Solid imperial stout. This one is hands down the best beer I've had on day 1 of south Texas trip. Mind you, not a ton of competition here to set the bar. Roast, plenty of coffee. Black pour with great mocha coloured head retention. Bitter ass finish. Nice. A hit of tang on aftertaste is the only slight draw back. Tap at University Draft House Town Lake.

Panther Island Brewing is a good place to visit, nice folks and good beer. This evening I have a 12 oz can of EOS to try. If I had a glass from the brewery I would use it, I do not so I will stay local with a Cowtown snifter. The pour is an almost black liquid with a credible head of creamy tan foam that settles to a fine skin. The scent is a a curious mix of chocolate, coffee and astringent. Fortunately the taste is way better. Heavy with coffee to begin with, chocolate malt, char to a degree that is tolerable to me, a bit of blackberries and wheat toast. Thinner than I prefer for an imperial stout but the drink pushed that issue away. Not bad.

Hints of coffee but the cold brew was on point, doesn't overpower the base stout at all, adds nice sweetness. Nice body. Nice nice! Slight roast dark chocolate goodness.
