Mad Brewer Black Storm

Mad Brewer Black Storm

Name: Black Storm

Brewery: Mad Brewer

Overall Rating: B-

Style: Imperial Stout

Serving Style: 22oz Bomber

ABV: 11.5%

Price: $6.79

Aroma: Sharp bitter cocoa dominants the aromatics with a hint of anise and cinnamon.

Appearance: Nearly black with a hint of brown around the edges.  Decent head formation while poured into my chalice.  Almost no lacing.

Flavor: Starts like a good imperial stout; Full of warm espresso and bitter chocolate tastes.  Ends with an odd, bitter almost vinegary after taste.

Mouthfeel: Large body with a mouth suckling dryness in the finish.

Enjoyability: I love seeing another great brewer just down the road from my house, but sadly this is not a great imperial stout.  It’s almost there but the too bitter, almost vinegar finish ruins this one for me.

Another take: Ratebeer | Ba
