Big John Imperial Stout

Big John Imperial Stout, Goose Island Beer Company, Chicago, IL
(Imperial Stout, Rated 98)

Pitch black pour with a small dark, chocolate head. Strong aromas of coffee, cacao, chocolate, and roasted malts. Full bodied with lots of chocolate flavor, big and malty, with a rich black coffee feel and a mildly boozy, warming finish. This big beer hides the 11.5% abv well. Stouts, especially imperial stouts, are great cold weather drinkers. Cheers!
