A 750 ml bottle of Isabel sent along by rare beer, I am informed to enjoy by 5/22. With caged and corked beers becoming more scarce, it is nice to have this one to sample. A snifter in hand, the pour is jade black with a credible head of straw colored foam. I have a smell, chocolate, vanilla and alcohol. A drink follows, more of the chocolate, cereal, some orange zest coming through and plenty of malt. Not as hefty a mouth feel as I had hoped but definitely a substantial bitterness at the end. Decent.
