Cigar City Hunahpu’s Imperial Stout

Thank you to DJ's parents for picking this one up while they were vacationing in Florida, there is no way that this could be found otherwise.

This monster of a brew pours like the gulf of mexico (too soon?) with a milk chocolate colored head, very small carbonation bubbles and very nice lacing once the head fades. Aroma is very strong and includes notes of chocolate, cinnamon, coffee, and sweet malts. This is a very heavy brew! The smell is like someone mixed Starbucks with a liquor store. The taste is not nearly as strong as the aroma but includes most of the same stuff: Coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and alcohol (right at the end). This is a great beer, but like some other imperial stouts we've reviewed, if you don't like coffee then I suggest you steer clear.

Appearance - 4.2
Smell - 4.1
Taste - 4.3
Texture - 4.7
Overall - 4.33/5
