Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a deep dark colored body with infrared hues at the edges and supporting a nice tan head of foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted coffee, dark roasted malts, some thin hits of dark chocolate rolling into malt balls. The taste delivers smooth initially nutty dark roasted coffee that becomes increasingly roasty to midway to the point of being a tad charred. Which works nicely. Another sip teases out some chocolate covered malt balls. leading to a pleasing finish. Really nice roasty stout.

Can from Marty’s watching some hockey. The term pub ale is just too appealing for me to pass up. Lighter caramel colored brew with small sudsybhead. Nose is grainy some pleather. Tastes of grains, bread crust, caramel, touch of fruits, florals and corner booth at a diner. Crisp palate.

16 ounce can at Russell House Tavern in Cambridge. Nearly opaque brown color. Small beige ring. Roasted malt aroma has earthy, tangy notes. Flavor is sweet and roasty. Hints of dark brown sugar, coffee and tobacco. Long bitter finish an aftertaste. Quite nice, if I do say so.

Exhibit A x Barrington Coffee Sunday Paper Imperial Stout with Coffee 9.9% Deep black with a thick rusty beige head of foam. Nice sweet coffee aroma with done toasted notes. Smooth velvety medium body, roast stout dark malts with bittersweet coffee flavor. It’s a nice example of the style though lacking in complexity.
