Pours a solid black with a good finger of light brown head. Drained to a nice skim and appears to have a strong carbonation. Aroma is dominated by wood, pine, and roast. Has a bit of that smokey herbal character I notice a lot with Simcoe hops. Toasty malt.
Surprisingly smooth for an imperial CDA. Lots of the flavor seems to linger in the aftertaste. Hits the tongue a little sweet and roasty. Finishes with a subtle pine flavor and little alcohol. Herbal character all around. Not too bitter. Wood in the aftertaste. Thin body with a decent carbonation.
