Year of New Beer: Imperial Stout, Olde Hickory Brewing (NC)

Written By: Dion on 04/27/2015

Hidden away in my cellar for three years, time has been kind to this one. Very rich nose filled with roasted coffee beans, bitter cocoa powder, and traces of campfire. Much the same on the tongue as waves of charred malts layer atop an almost fudge-like chocolate, with a surprising amount of hop bitterness. Traces of dark fruit and ash round things out. Very well hidden alcohol. Nice beer.
