Central Waters Fat Elvis Imperial Stout.
10.6 % ABV, 30 IBU, Central Waters Brewing, Amherst, WI.
Sublimely stygian, utterly opaque, large, looming cocoa-toned head.
In the nose: spews out chocolatey goodness, cocoa powder galore. Espresso tinges. Slight smoke. Caramel. Honest to goodness goodness.
In the mouth: Mmm. rich, sweet, indulgent. Deep, chocolatey, coffee-ish, dark and decadent. Luxurious. Lovable. Sweet, succulent, coated in cocoa. Alcohol rises, assuredly. Big and smooth. Bottomless riches. Indulgence in extremis.
This Imperial Stout is robust yet retains an amazing ability to be so smooth it could be called Velvet Elvis. Dripping with chocolate and caramel with enough roast and and hop bitterness to balance itself, this beer is dangerously drinkable.
