Batch 188 Imperial Stout tasting notes

Room temp from basement

Pours opaque black with tall tan head that lingers, some course bubbles

Aroma tart roast with indian spice

Mouthfeel thick and dry, cleans right up at end

Flavor big crunchy roast, burnt, some prunes or stone fruit, light tropical esters at end, a little heat/gasoline

Finishes pretty clean, a little plastic, dry roast balanced (not nearly enough hops)

Overall a pretty dry and strong example here, too much dark roast, not enough hops, probably should cool down fermentation a bit, as well.  Go back a couple versions to get a less intense version.  Drunk already!
