I've mentioned more than once how much I enjoy a good stout, and to end the American week I have an imperial stout. The label makes it seem like a mysterious and powerful brew, so it piques interest right away. Opening the bottle releases a dark chocolate smell and the beer almost pours like syrup. So far so good! It has a tan head, reminds me of Cabrona. Tasting it reveals a great mellow flavor, rounded, somewhat chocolaty but not too sweet. Like David's Triple from yesterday, it maintains over some time, without getting too sweet or developing any odd smell. Although it might go well with a chocolaty dessert, Old Heathen deserves to be tasted by itself, without any interference of food. It's a good, loungey beer to relax with, and have a serious, but friendly, discussion.
