Peace Tree Imperial Stout

The Peace Tree Brewing Company is in Knoxville, Iowa. This 10.0% ABV Belgian-style Imperial stout is one of their seasonal releases.

The beer pours a dense black, opaque and pure black even when held to the light. There is a short head of dark brown foam. The aroma is very dark roasted, char, pure dark cacao chocolate, mineral, tang. The taste follows the aromas, dark malt, charred, rich, fruity, dark and dried fruits, bittersweet, vanilla, a touch of wood, some mineral tang. It is full-bodied, round and smooth, and fairly bitter on the finish. This is incredibly good.
