Olde Hickory Brewery – Olde Hickory Imperial Stout – 22 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 10.5% abv. From Online trade.

Appearance:  Pours dark brown with tight tan bubbles.

Aroma: Dusty cocoa like malt and wet dog like roasted malts.

Taste: Burnt roast cocoa vanilla. Ashes and coffee. Finishes roasty. Not that sweet.

Mouthfeel: Full bodied decently carbonated.

Overall: The word honey triggers a special sensation in my brain, and I immediately think of it’s sweet, goey goodness. I was looking for just a touch and unfortunately didn’t find it.  While decent, I wouldn’t trade too hard for it.
