Having one of Epic Brewing's limited releases tonight I just recently picked up - Big Bad Baptist - Chocolate Rapture Imperial Stout.



Poured deep black and thick into a Snifter with a minimal, light brown head. Allowed to warm some. Big smell of cocoa with some smokey oak, a little coffee, and some bourbon alcohol. The taste comes across with a lot of cocoa with some slight coffee bitterness, lactose, smokey oak, roasted malt. Body is appropriately heavy and this has a 12% ABV that is very well hidden. Really good brew in Epic's Big Bad Baptist series!
