Blackout Stout

Blackout Stout, Great Lakes Brewing Company, Cleveland, OH
(Imperial Stout, Rated 99)

In a conversation with a friend recently, we talked about how the world is a song. So if I had to pick a song for this beer, it just might be "Blackout" from the Scorpions..."Blackout, I really had a blackout." Fitting I think, especially after reading where the name came from.  Keeping with my dark beer trend this Winter, this imperial stout pours midnight black. Aroma has rich coffee with chocolate notes. Aroma carries into the taste...roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and a nice bittersweet finish.
