This imperial coffee stout's fluffy head unleashes mocha in the nose, with coffee and chocolate arriving in waves; brushes of spicy nutmeg and cinnamon lift the aroma. On the tongue, the complexity is dramatic, with silky layers building with each sip. Coffee and cream flow over the entire over the palate, while pretty cinnamon spice weaves deftly through the viscous liquid; a little bit of cherry liqueur emerges in the middle, before receding into malt bitterness and ashy roast that singes the back of the palate. Rich chocolate remains on the tongue, like the last bit of a Hershey’s Kiss, seducing you to another extraordinary sip.
