Frisky Bear – Black Forest Gateau Imperial Stout (8.0% ABV)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Another of the Brewer’s desert in a beer can offering. No 1970s or 1980s dining out experience was complete without a generous slice of Black Forest Gateau and a little pouring cream but does it work as a beer?

1. Name : Black Forest Gateau Imperial Stout
2. Brewery: Frisky Bear Brewing Co
3. Aroma : Cherry and a hint of damson
4. Appearance : Jet black with a brownish head
5. Body :  Medium bodied, lightly carbonated, producing a reasonable head retention
6. Taste : Like eating a boozy Black Forest trifle. Plenty
   of dark chocolate bitterness, black cherry with a
   touch of sourness but mainly dry

I’m a little biased, I love stout and a punchy Imperial one all
the better. This was heavy on the dark chocolate bitter
notes but balanced with a deep dark cherry flavour. Quite
moreish but at 8% please take it steady.

Our overall rating: 3.9/ 5.0
