A
woman drove me to drink and I didn't have the decency to thank her.

Stout Comparison |

Victory Brewing Co Storm King Imperial Stout (Downington, PA) |
 Dogfish Head Brewing Co World Wide Stout (Milton, DE) Note: This beer is 23% alcohol |
|
|
Tasting Notes Appearance: Black liquid with a light brown head that quickly dissolves onto the surface of the beer. Aroma: A fruity smell is first noticed, but is quickly covered over by a burnt wood and malty aroma. Taste: This medium bodied beer has a chocolate taste to it which is followed by coffee, nuts and lightly burnt malts. Summary: This is a decent stout that goes down really easy. However, I was looking for a more robust flavor. |
Tasting Notes Appearance: A very dark beer that does not allow light to penetrate through the glass. The head is a nice creamy foam with a cinnamon color. Aroma: The smell of this beer reminds me of hot chocolate. Hints of malts are also noticeable. Taste: This full bodied beer is silky smooth on the tongue. Chocolate and coffee flavors are most noticeable, however malts and a slight bitterness appear towards the end of each sip. Summary: At 9.1% alcohol this beer has a terrific flavor that makes you forget how strong it is. This is one of my favorite stouts and would recommend it to anyone! |
Tasting Notes Appearance: A very dark beer with some purple and brown colors apparent when held up to the light. Little to no head. Aroma: A heavy alcohol smell hovers over the glass. Cherry and molasses are also present. Taste: This beer tastes like a port wine. Sweet and sticky with cherry, molasses, coffee and alcohol flavors. Summary: This is the second strongest beer in the world (Sam Adams Utopia is 24% alc.). Because of that the alcohol flavor dominates. It has a nice flavor and I think may be even better if aged for a year or two. I have another bottle I will put in the basement and review next year. |
