Review – New England Brewing Imperial Stout Trooper

New England Brewing Co. – Imperial Stout Trooper – 12 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 8.5% abv. From John in CT.
Appearance: Pours a thick looking midnight brown with a 1/2 inch of dense tan head.
Aroma: Roasted coffee, dark chocolate, roasted nuts and a little bit of booze.
Taste: Roasted coffee, dark chocolate, wood smoke, spicy hops, and more layers of chocolate.
Mouthfeel: Silky and sticky and smooth.
Overall: An enjoyable sipper, really complex, really tastey, and has a great gimmick as well.

Sounds like something I’d enjoy. I know its close, but I wonder if its available in NJ? Don’t think I’ve seen this one yet.
