#215 Heavy Seas - Peg Leg Imperial Stout

Another beer from High Seas.

This beer has a strong roasted malt aroma, with some coffee and bread notes. The color is black with some red highlights peeking through. The head is light brown and pours a slight head that fizzes away quickly.

This Imperial Stout has a huge malt profile, the flavor is malty and roasty. There is a taste of fresh baked bread mixed with a hint of coffee. There is a slight floral hop flavor with only a light bitter flavor. There is a hint of alcohol to the taste to this 8% beer. The mouthfeel is full and rich giving the impression of a "Big Beer". The finish is malty and dry tasting a lot like the beer.

I really like this beer. I am normally happy with the beers from High Seas and I usually like Imperial Stouts and this beer is a perfect example of both. Lots of roasted flavor, and a hint of hops. I highly recommend this beer.
