I was really happy with all of the Pinta beers from our first shipment, and I think that this particular beer may just be my favourite.  

I mean, what’s not to love about a big, sticky, rich imperial stout?  

This Pinta beer is the business.  Pouring darker than your worst Monday morning mood, it glugs out of the bottle like engine oil.  That’s my first sign of a really good impy stout.  The second is the dark head as the beer settles, I always think the darker the head the fuller and richer the beer will be.

Container no fewer than eight different malts, the aroma is full of dark chocolate, caramel, burnt toast, vanilla and dark stone fruit.  The flavour has all this and more.

At first the rich, sweet malt body that is dominated by dark chocolate, raisins, dates and vanilla.  But it doesn’t stay that sweet for long, with some spicy herbal bitterness that offers licorice and a woody note.  

A slight spiciness on the finish adds to the gentle warming from the alcohol for a very pleasant aftertaste.
