Marzonis Imperial Stout

Brewed by Marzonis Brick Oven & Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial Stout
Duncansville, Pennsylvania USA

Pours a black color with a tan head. Has hints of coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, and candied fruit. Finishes with a clean bitter taste on the tongue. Thanks Hopscotch for sharing.

Bottle... This beer Rocks!... Pitch black pour with a small, creamy, light brown head. The aroma is a swirl of chocolate, coconut and vanilla with an undercurrent of tobacco, bourbon and cola. Burnt, bitter, boozy flavor. Light, chocolaty sweetness bows to moderate acidity. Full-bodied and chewy with medium carbonation. Burnt, bitter, bourbon finish that dries out in the end. This brewer should no longer be under the radar. World class beer! Thanks go out to 1FastSTi for providing the bottle!

Courtesy hopscotch. Pours pitch black, with pretty much no head at all. Smells of some sweet bourbon, which I was shocked to learn it wasnt BB aged. Big chocolate, and some vanilla too, really stood out in the nose. I’m liking this beer already. Very rich and thick mouthfeel, big, big chocolate with some nice alcohol notes that seem to compliment the chocolate well. Get some bourbon in the taste too, but not as much as the smell. Very smooth and lovely beer. I’d like to try more from this brewery.

Bomber via Bill. 2005 vintage. The beer pours a dark brown body that looks mostly black. A thin rejuvenatable brown head sits on top. Good lacing. The aroma has a lot of roasty malt, notes of licorice, chocolate, and woodsy spices. Kinda made me think that if Anchor OSA was an imperial stout, this would be it. The flavor is bitter cocoa powder, licorice, woodsy charcoal, rich dark chocolate. "Spicy" palate that is rich, lightly tart, and roasty.

Courtesy hopscotch. Black with a very thin tan head. Sweet aromas of chocolate, malt, and some alcohol. Thick, creamy palate. Flavor is a great balance of rich roast flavor and a defined alcohol presence. Rich bitter roast finish. Damn good.

Black body. Thin dark tan head, mostly diminishing. Aroma is very sweet with notes of melon, ornage peel and bourbon leading. Further contemplation reveals rich coffee, milk chocolate, monstrous notes of treacle and uncooked brownies complete with chocolate icing. Somehow I don’t think this needs to go in the oven though. Flavor is almost as rich and satisfying as the nose. Roastiness is moderate. Honey notes and lesser bourbon and woddiness in the taste trhan in the flavor. Still very sweet, with mild bitterness and low acidity. Finishes very bitter, roasty and chocolatey. Alcohol is prominent throughout. Mouthfeel is full, rich, warming and very smooth.

Courtesey of Hopscotch...In a night of rarities and never again to be tasted beers, this gem stood out just a bit. Ebony black color with a slightly sweet aroma, reminds me of the coffee served at a Vietnamese restaurant. Awesome beer.
