January 3rd 2010: The People's Pint Imperial Stout

Appearance: 4 | Smell: 4 | Taste: 3.5 | Feel: 3.5 | Drinkability: 3.5

This bottle was a 2008 vintage.

Poured very black with dark cola brown edges with a thin creamy mocha head. The smell is roasted and slightly burnt malts and is somewhat bitter in the nose. The taste is more roasted and burnt malts with a very good balance between sweet chocolate and the bitter burnt malts. There is a slight booziness as well. The mouthfeel was a little thin and overcarbonated with a thin cola body. I was hoping for more creaminess and body but overall an okay RIS.
