Tonight's beer: Omnipollo Agamemnon
Dark chocolate and caramel, dark bread, toast; coffee and earth and grass filling in behind. Smoke, ash, peat, maybe some burnt fruit around the fringes. Bittersweet from the start, with impressions of maple floating to the surface around the finish.
A little thick, very dense and sticky, kinda soft and chewy. Gently carbonated. Roasty-drying, but not overpoweringly so. Basically no warning of the 12.5 % ABV (egad!) this beer is packing. Filling and satisfying.
A delicious beer, a very big stout with a nice maple-syrupy finish—not a sweetness, most like how a dry mead can taste like honey but not really be sweet. Amazingly intense, even for a bit beer, and astonishingly complex; marvelously well-integrated and impressively well-balanced for an imperial stout. Alarmingly drinkable, supple and subtle, graceful and deceptive. Awesome bottle art, and an incredible beer; an all-around win.
