At Apothecary Draft House having a small 4 oz sample of this 12% beer. Still need to drive home and it's an hour away. It's Founders so I'm expecting this to be excellent.
Head and color are to be expected. Aroma has the anticipated strong espresso. The chocolate is there but it's in the background. One sip and I'm glad I only got 4 oz. Alcohol is strong and upfront. Founders, true to their word, delivered in that the flavor is a strong roasted espresso with a very dark chocolate. Starts with a coffee bitterness that mellows out to a sweet finish. The espresso lingers on the back of the tongue forever. Very, very late in the finish it even turns into a burnt brownie.
I'm seldom able to get Founders on draft and so glad I've had this one. It's strength demands to be sipped sparingly. Founders stouts have always impressed me and this is no exception. My only regret is that I was not able to enjoy the full 12 ounces.
