Rocky Road Reserve Stout

One pint can at $8.99 from the town’s craft beer store. The label shows this brew to contain the adjuncts I like in an imperial stout. Time to pull the tab and lift into my New Belgium globe glass. It shows a brown-black body followed up with a now-and-gone skim of complementary parchment tan, very fine bubbles. The carbonation is obvious in its replenishment of the thin head. I find the scent to be appealing, a fudge brownie with marshmallows. A drink now, yes, quite nice. Heavy with chocolate, vanilla, nuts, malt, marshmallows and grain. The high abv is in the background, waiting for its moment. I get a medium mouthfeel and there’s a slight roastiness at the finish. Enjoyable to this fan of the style.
