Year of New Beer: Sinister Vertigo Imperial Stout, Odd Side Ales (MI)

Written By: Dion on 02/16/2015

Dark, bitter chocolate on the nose with traces of cherry, coffee, and smoke. On the tongue is cocoa with a bit of molasses sweetness up front, followed quickly by the dark fruit notes. Around mid-palate, a fairly sharp bitterness and increased smoke component step in and hold on through the finish. The 9.2% abv is very well hidden. Not great, but not bad either.
