Tonight I'm tasting my friend Zach W.'s 2 year old Imperial Stout.

Pours bright.  Deep garnet.  Doesn't look too heavy or viscous.  Some heading with some lacing.  Nice medium, medium low carbonation with some creamyness.   Great rich aroma.  Aroma has some bittersweet chocolate, plenty of tobacco, and something that reminds me of black cherry.  Also some creaminess in the nose.  Body is medium.  A little leaner than I was expecting, but not light.  Palette has some bittersweet chocolate.  It's tangy, somewhat light bodied.  Some acidity.  Some hop bitterness that marries well with dark malts.  Developing warming from alcohol.  What keeps me coming back is the lingering darker chocolate bitterness staying on the back of my tongue and marrying with the alcoholic warmth.  Nice Work Z!
