About: I recall my first sip of beer very fondly. At a very early age I was watching a baseball game with my father, and he noticed I was curious as to the colorful red and white canned beverage in his hand and finally offered me a sip. At that point I felt like I was a part of something special. As I was never able to touch those elusive drinks prior to that moment, I felt like a grown man, sipping the sudsy elixir with my dad watching sports on the tv screen.
That was a one time event though, and it wasnt until my teen years when I realized the magical effects beer can have at social functions. I became enamored immediately with the level of fun that can be had while drinking what I also had confessed was the most refreshing drink in existence.
After years of experimenting with every drink available to me, I have found my tastes and preferences have matured. Still, more so than ever I am driven by the quest to find the ultimate beverage. Though I know there is no such thing I am always trying something new to find my favorites. I enjoy variety, and also believe the only way to discover truly what you enjoy the most is by trying everything you can. Not only do you learn about the various styles and flavors associated with the many kinds of beer, but you also learn what you like as well as what perhaps you are not particularly fond of. There is a time and a mood for just about any style of beer crafted today, and the more you experience the better you are prepared to suit your own tastes.
I love beer, pure and simple.See Authors Posts (52) | Filed under: Beer Reviews
Name: Imperial Stout
Brewery: Nogne O
Overall Rating: A-
Style: Stout
Serving Style: 1pt .9 fl oz Bottle
ABV: 9 %
IBU:75
Price: $7.99
Appearance: A dark chocolate brown. Had to pour vigorously to get some head out of the goblet though it turned out nice. A brown bubbly syrup laces the glass.
Aroma: A pleasing scent of caramel with some roasted medium malty smells. Perhaps some elusive nuttiness and slight vanilla in the brew.
Flavor: This is a surprisingly rich yet well balanced stout that is easily drinkable, especially considering it’s fairly high abv. A nicely roasted flavor with some coffee and sweetness within, and a good bitter finish.
Body: This one is light to medium yet sticks to your palate with an alcoholic coat. It just settles and stays.
Enjoyability: Overall a very tasty stout that I would not hesitate to drink again should the opportunity present itself. Also definitely an interesting experience to have anything Norwegian, let alone a stout. I would very much like to experiment more with the offerings of this brewery as this was my introduction to Nogne and I am impressed.
Another take: by others
