This one went by another name, one that's appeared here before. But new name and new package means new beer, so I'm re-reviewing it now.
Solid blackness, rich, brown-toned head, leaving lace, looking nice.
In the nose: Chocolatey malt meets grassy hops. More hop flavors emerge, citrus-y, orange and pine, matching the mocha-ish malt. Nice.
In the mouth: Hops are huge in this RIS, and the malt is big and tasty. Great balance in a big beer. Increasingly delicious. Creamy, hoppy, strong, delightful. I like this more and more.
I don't normally go for hoppy stouts, but this one has got me.
A world of nonsense. Nothing is what it isn't, because otherwise it would be what it is. An Imperial Stout with dry hops? What a Strange Illusion that would be.
