Jester King Black Metal Imperial Stout

Big thanks to markwise for sharing with me my first Jester King experience. It pours deep darkness with full mocha head. The aroma is rich chocolate covered marshmallow, chocolate covered black licorice, black strap molasses, uber rich butter dark chocolate fudge goodness. Damn, what? The taste is chocolate toffee like love followed by burnt malts, rich dark roasted coffee and sticky expensive rich chocolate infused fatty Irish Butter enhanced fudge that’s covered with molasses. It seems to have a somewhat thin prickly mouth feel that distracts from the experience a bit. But overall all this is WOW!

Bottle at Schouskjelleren. Pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee with hints of spices and alcohol. Sweet and creamy with a full body with some a light bitterness. A bit sweet, but a nice imperial stout with nice artwork on the bottle.

Shared bottle at local tasting. Pitch black beer with a moderate tan head. Roasty and malty aroma and flavour, with notes of strong coffee, liquorice and dark bitter chocolate. Rich and full mouthfeel, warming, maybe a bit too much carbonation. Medium bitterness in the finish. All in all mighty impressive.

Lots of black patent and roast malt. Mild chocolate, black licorice and heavy cream. Thick black pour with a huge head and lacing. Medium to heavy bodied, metallic after taste. Solid all around, but nothing outstanding.

This poured a black color with a tan head. The aroma is rathert boozy with some chocolate, coffee, and charcoal. The flavor is a bit sour and boozy with some dark fruit like raisins, licorice, chocolate and coffee. Overall I think some age would help this but it is good right now. The dude on the label looks like a KISS reject.

Nice effort from jester king, a nice imp stout. Aromas and flavors of roasted coffee, dark bitter chocolate and the finish has a bit of alcohol, and a touch of spiciness. Mouthfeel was a little on the thin side, other than that small minus, a worthy brew indeed.
