When
Drank 12 oz of Plead the 5th Imperial Stout by Dark Horse Brewing Co. (2015-12)February 1st, 2016
2016-12-11
Same evaluation after a year in the cellar. Too much coffee bitterness for me. Great mouthfeel, smells pretty good, probably a very good beer but I just don't like it.

It's probably a good imperial stout but too much coffee for me. Don't buy again. Also a palate wrecker.

Keep this one chilled. It's better when refrigerator cold.

Fantastic. Even more depth and lovely maltiness than Arrogant Bastard.

Cocoa powder. Held up better than the Scotch Ale, little bourbon left. Doesn't benefit from aging, though.
2017-07-23
Yes.

Tried this next to the (very fresh) 2016 and there's no comparison. The 2015 is so mellow and rich and deep. Should be interesting to compare after another year.

Yes. So much flavor. Doesn't have the rick, thick, bite of a RIS but so good. Lots of barrel character. Vanilla in the aroma, chocolate in the flavor. No need to buy Uncle Jacob's Stout anymore.

This is insanely good. Pure dessert. Hops barely present compared to the 2017 at this point. Not sure how much to attribute to vintage vs. age.
2016-04-13
Drank a bottle with a dessert consisting of butterscotch pudding and homemade shortbread. Really brought out the "American" style. Hops were much more prevalent when consumed with sweeter foods. Still amazing every time.

Best just below room temperature.
Drank 12 oz of Special Double Cream Stout by Bell's Brewery, Inc. (2015-11-04)January 24th, 2016

Super roast, burnt flavor but not coffee-ish. Velvety mouthfeel. It's fine but I'd rather have a Guinness.
