8.0%

Smell:

Chocolate, a slight roastyness, malty and a slight whiskey smell, the whiskey smell isn't strong

Taste:

This had a nice malty taste. It was slightly roasted with a hint of chocolate. It was not bitter at all and had almost no hops. It had an espresso and whiskey aftertaste that lingers. It had no head so I was expecting it to be heavy in flavor and feeling but it was not a heavy at all; it had was on the low end of medium mouthfeel. It was good and not crazy. The flavor blend together nicely.

Rating:

Overall this was a decent beer. The chocolate and whiskey were very downplayed which is nice for an Imperial Stout. I am so used to overpowering flavors that this was a nice change. If you like light hints of chocolate and whiskey this should be on your list to try.
