Evil Twin Brewing Evil Twin Yin Imperial Taiji Stout – Double/Imperial Stout at 10% ABV

Evil Twin Brewing Evil Twin Yin Imperial Taiji Stout Double/Imperial Stout at 10% ABV

Pours a true solid black without a hint of colour, with a short mocha head diminishing to a thin skim and no lacing. Nose is deep roast malts, hint of smoke, coffee, very slight booziness. Taste leads out with roast malt and faint chocolate, giving way to booze-soaked dark fruit. Medium to heavy body, slick and smooth, with low persistent carbonation and a lingering boozy finish.

Quite nice. A very well-behaved Imperial, not too boozy but enough that there’s no doubt about what you’re drinking. Almost like a rum-soaked dark fruitcake and definitely a great beer for a cold winter night.

And if you’re thinking about commenting on the glass? Don’t. There’s a method to my madness – stay with me.

8.5/10 #ryansbooze
