2/2009 FULL SAIL BREWMASTER RESERVE BLACK GOLD IMPERIAL STOUT
We love our mother, but we kid you not — we would run her over to get our hands on case of this beer. Just released, this stout was brewed a year ago, and then aged in Bourbon barrels. It’s a huge beer — 10.5% ABV, and it floods the mouth with flavor. The texture is silky — we can’t recall tasting a beer like this. It tastes best at around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. (We preferred a tulip-shaped glass.) You will taste roast, chocolate, coffee, and a touch of vanilla. Fabulous. Drinking a 22-ounce bottle leaves one grinning and placid. PERFECT. (Rating ****)
