Odell Imperial Stout

Brewed by Odell Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

(Bottle) Courtesy of BluesandBeer2. Pours a lasting frothy beige head with an opaque black body. Nose of strong bitter coffee, sour milk and vanilla. Good intensity, mildly oily texture. Flavour of strong coffee melding into a bitter chocolate shaving. Finishes with a disagreeable tin flavour. It packs a decent punch for a mild ABV of 7.1%. Very good

12 oz. bottle 0n 3/19/07 in Colorado. Pours black with a medium tan head hta leaves good lace. Aroma of burnt coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Full body and a slighlty astringent mouthfeel. Predominantly bitter flavor is never really balanced by enough malt sweetness.

Thanks again to Brewfiend. I got a lot of coffee from this beer in the nose and the flavor. Thick and black but lightly carbonated. Bitter coffee and chocolate in the flavor as well as malt, but this is not there in any quantity and is very light.

Dark brown pour with no head. Faint smoky nose. Heavy body with smoke and chocolate.

Thanks to brewfiend for the going away treat. Pours a nice brownish black. light smokey nose with hints of sweet mollasses and slight coffee. There is also a hint of salted meats Very odd smokey and salty flavor with hints of sweet chocolate.

Thanks crilg. Deep red-brown body and fading, oily beige head. Well-roasted coffee bean aroma. Light meaty character. Flavor has notes of sweet molasses, coffee, and dark chocolate. Mouthfeel is a combination of starch and syrup. Solid imperial stout.

Not as black and thick a pour as I would expect fro such a bear; moderate body holding a chocolatey, somewhat roasty flavor; some resinous hoppiness; good brew, but not quite an Imperial impression.

Bottle purchased in Omaha. Poured a black color with a great head and excellent lacing for an impy stout. The aroma was coffee first and chocolate second. Flavor was coffee, chocolate, licorice, some dark fruits, finishing with a nice touch of hops. The mouthfeel was a little thin and uninspiring, but overall this was a nice beer.
