Tasting Notes (1)

Rizero

Tasted on 6/9/2016 by Rizero

Notes:

12oz bottle poured into a Snifter at 45°. Color is a deep dark black with good carbonation and a thick, tight, tan head. Aroma is a roasted scent with some whisky and oak coming out. It has a full body with a crisp mouth feel. Flavor is roasted with a slight sweetness then the oak comes in with a little whisky and ends with a slight bitterness giving it a baking coco taste. After taste is dry with the roasted taste lingering on. Overall its a good Stout just not a great Imperial, it didn't come out as rich and bold as I was hopping. Next time I may try cutting back on the corn sugar and putting in more malt to give it a bolder feel.
