Berkshire Imperial Stout

Sox won another, so its time to try an imperial stout, this one from the Berkshire Brewing Co. just north of here.

The Imperial starts off with a nice head and a color that you would expect from an Imperial Stout, rich and dark. Carbonation is moderate and mouthfeel is nice and full. Hop aroma is minute as well in the taste. Flavor is a nice blend of chocolate and coffee and overall well balanced brew.

I liked this much better than the Smutty Nose as there wasn't an overabundance of hops. If you like stouts this one is worth trying, well balanced and not disappointing.
