Ever rub an orange rind on the rim of your espresso?<\/h2>\n

While not nearly as bitter, the flavor experience here is close. There\u2019s an almost citrus aspect to the dark roast coffee flavors in Raven\u2019s Eye Imperial Stout<\/strong>. Like candied oranges and dried fruit. The layer of lacey foam that swirls on top adds to the freshly brewed similarities. The mouthfeel is more like a chilled mocha; creamy and surprisingly full. Coating your tongue with bright highlights of cocoa, molasses, and coffee. I could easily wake up to this. Then again, at 9.5% ABV I couldn\u2019t easily go to sleep with it, too.<\/p>\n

This was my first from CA’s\u00a0Eel River Brewing<\/a>, America\u2019s first Certified Organic brewery. Now looking forward to trying more of their brews.<\/p>\n
