La Barberie Imperial stout: might detect a whiff of blackcurrant but the taste is all coffee and chocolate
La Barberie Imperial stout (7.5% ABV)
QC, Canada
Strong beer on lees (with live yeast in the bottle), this stout is a bruiser at almost twice the power of a pint of Guinness and 500ml in the bottle. One to sip.
You'll need to be patient when pouring, otherwise the head on your beer will take forever to settle (whoops!). Pours black as your soul
Most of La Barberie's beers seem to smell like blackcurrant and this has a hint of it lurking between the coffee and chocolate malts. You won't taste any though: there's a strong coffee flavour, followed by chocolate sweetness and a long, underlying bitterness that you'll be tasting for an hour after you drain the final jet-black drops.
Which you will. Unless you dislike bitter beers. In which case, you probably don't buy too many stouts anyway.
