Grand Teton Black Cauldron Imperial Stout

Dark pour with not much head. Aroma is roasted malts and caramel and chocolate sweetness. Flavor is big and bod with roast and alcohol. Not too bitter but nice and robust. Very good.

Sampled from 1 litre bottle and shared by Ughsmash. Pours an opaque dark brown (almost black) brew with a creamy tan head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted dark malt, dark chocolate, a hint of soy sauce, smoked wood and some coffee. Taste is full bodied, with flavors of toasted dark malt, some smoked wood, oak, vanilla, a hint of dark chocolate and coffee. Finish is semi-sweet the a very faint bitterness but more dark malt aftertaste during and after the finish. Two years of aging has done this very good. Most excellent.

1L bottle dated Nov 9, 2007. Poured rather viscous black with a creamy cap of dark brown head.. just lovely! The aroma picked up dark as well as milky chocolates, all finely toasted.. brown sugar, vanilla, and campfire smoke rounded out the edges.. prickly oak on the final impression. The flavor carried through all of the chocolate, making it rather cake-like.. mild roasted coffee and caramel settled into the core and integrated nicely.. toasted oak and smoky notes provided a complementary sour hit around the tongue.. the heavy roasted malts return for the finish. Heavier-bodied than expected but not necessarily chewy on the palate.. well-carbonated and balanced. This was delicious!

Draught @ Bittercreek - Pours a thick black with a dk brown head...aroma is sweet charred wood, coffee and chocolate malt...flavour is similar, and oddly I thought it tasted like it had more alcohol than 7.5%, which I like given that it had wonderful flavour and no burn...coats the mouth and finishes with a burnt woody aspect...that is great on tap!...
