LEINENKUGEL BIG EDDY IMPERIAL STOUT

Richly viscous full body goes beyond stylistic mocha theme with its oaken bourbon-burgundy wining, coffee-roasted dried fruiting and cocoa-dried butterscotch notch. Creamy dark chocolate expectancy, sinewy molasses-smoked maple malting and luscious vanilla sweetness sidle prune-soured black cherry tartness. Tertiary blackberry, black grape and boysenberry illusions tilt Big Eddy towards sour end. Cedar-burnt wood tone reinforces caramelized brown sugar glaze.

(WELLS & YOUNG) COURAGE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN STOUT

Boldly rounded full body with exemplary sweet-sour-bitter balance allows hemp-like hop oils to positively affect milky brown chocolate entry, chewy maple molasses-sapped anise goo and sugary oatmeal-toasted backdrop. Advertised espresso adjunct pervades ancillary chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, soy, dried cherry and pipe tobacco illusions. Vinous red-wined sherry boozing settles beside rum-spiced tingle above earthen peat bottom and ashen pine soot. Lusty 10% alcohol thrust well hidden by luxurious chocolate creaminess and hop-charred pine char.

BROOKLYN BLACK OPS STOUT

Easygoing relaxant stays smoothly soft-tongued as oaken vanilla and dark chocolate seep into soothing bourbon warmth of wood-barreled Imperial Stout. Carbolic champagne yeast prickle yields burgundy-port undertones affecting black cherry, raisin, prune and blackberry tartness as well as subtle hazelnut-almond conflux. Dark-roasted stove-burnt coffee spell deepens complexity of  2011-brewed 10.7% alcohol mocha-bound digestif.
