This oatmeal imperial stout comes it at 11% alcohol and pours black (like it should) with a caramel head. The smell is quite nice and includes notes of chocolate, licorice, oatmeal, alcohol, and dark fruits. The taste is strong and bold but at the same time very smooth. It is a nice mix having the sweet taste of oatmeal and chocolate and then the kick of alcohol at the end. This is one of the better imperial stouts that I've had.
I have no idea why I've never heard of Southern Tier Brewing Company before, but after tasting this as my first brew from them, I believe Deke and I will be going back time and time again.
