Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon Russian Imperial Stout


Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon. 12.5% aBV.

Deepest, darkest, blackest black. A handsome head of roasty toasty tanned foam on top.

Aroma: cocoa first, then molasses, espresso. All the usual suspects. Rich and intriguing.

taste: In the mouth, plump and filling. Slightly bitter, dry, roasty and rewarding. A little whiskey flavor trickles in, a hint of vanilla. In comes the toffee and caramel, mingling with the coffee and cocoa. Really liking the depths here.
Alcohol level is rising high, bubbling up, but we're nearly done, and it's making a lovely nightcap. More flavors rising up, some charcoal, some anise. Maybe, just a bit of raison. Rich, intense, but very wonderful.

Now, what do they say: "What should we call our Russian Imperial Stout? Black Unicorn? Soul Dragon? Nahhh. Let's combine them and create the ultimate mythical creature: Blaecorn Unidragon! Imbued with a monstrous amount fo dark malt and aggressive hops, Blaecorn Unidragon is a powerful and complex brew designed to improve with age."
