Kuhnhenn American Imperial Stout

Brewed by Kuhnhenn Brewing
Style: Imperial Stout
Warren, Michigan USA

Black body with a fading, tan head. The aroma is raisins, plums, roast, chocolate with hints of rum. The flavor is burnt, coffee, molases, chocolate, vinous and fairly sweet. Full, sticky body, slightly oily with soft carbonation.

12oz bottle, via artusory. Thanks, Ryan! Dark, dark core; medium tan head with decent lacing. Dried fruits (raisins), dark chocolate, and caramel in the aroma. Full mouthfeel: dried fruit, bitter chocolate and caramel, toasty vanilla. Excellent concentration, and much more expressive and interesting than most imperial stouts I’ve had recently. Medium, bitter chocolate and vanilla finish. Tasty stuff.

(12oz bottle, thanks artusory) Black body with brown edges, minimal tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, roast, some coffee, caramel, light burnt. Taste is sweet, coffee/roast, cocoa, some caramel. Full body, low carbonation.

Thanks to Styles for this beer! Very rich dark and thick appearence with lots of good roast flavors, with chocolates and coffee. This beer does a real good job of hiding the 13% alcohol, and it is a real sipper to sit and enjoy. The flavors change and evolve throughout the beer getting warmer and closer to room temp. Overall a real tasty treat!

wow...what a beer! rich and thick, smooth and creamy. my second bottle from the Kuhnhenn holiday 6 pack, thanks to Styles. aroma is sweet molasses, black licorice, dried dark fruit and roasted malts. flavor has much of the same but with some chocolate and a bit of coffee. alcohol is detectable, but it doesn’t burn nor is it hot in any way. palate is thick and rich and finishes with some roasty bitterness. outstanding stout in every way. last line of the commercial description is dead on: "this is a real treat"

Growler shared by sliffy, thanks! Quite a way to start of the night. Poured an oily black with a nice lookin’ dark tan head. Aroma was of dark chocolate, roasted bready malt, coffee, and some vinous elements as well. Flavors were of dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, a bit of smoke, some dark fruits and a tinge of hazlenut. Thick velvety body, and finished with a roasty-dry-bitter. Really wonderful stuff!

On tap at the brewery. This looked incredible coming out of the tap. It seriously was like tar or motor oil it was mesmerizing. Aroma was very sweet, roasty, chocolatey and some alcohol. Also a little bitterness pretty good overall.

Tap. Dark opaque brown pour with a dense, frothy brown head. Coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt aroma. Flavor follows the aroma with a healthy dose of molasses as well. Alcohol is well hidden. Thick and creamy mouth feel.
