What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “A rich blend of milk and chocolate, Cuban coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate syrup, and Nesquik. It smells like chocolate milk, but there’s a touch of something a little funky, but not quite sour. Roasty, with light coconut and a touch of alcohol.”
Flavor: “This is a chocolate bomb. Lots of chocolate roast that’s very sweet and chocolate milk−like, and it transforms into an intense burned sugar, deep roast character plus a hint of currant. Silky smooth carbonation that tastes like it could be nitro, and chewy. The roasted bitterness lingers, but falls off just before becoming unpleasant.”
Overall: “Lots of awesome chocolate, in almost perfect harmony with a deep roast character and medium alcohol warming, all of which is held together with a thick, silky body. It’s wonderfully balanced and complex and hits every expected note in an imperial stout.”
What the Brewers Say
“Darkly roasted chocolate malts are combined with two types of cacao nibs, creating a balance between subtle chocolate cake decadence and residual malt sweetness to pull you deeper into the complexity of The Nothing.”
