Spencer Gift Pack: Trappist Imperial Stout

The Spencer Brewery’s Trappist Imperial Stout is an 8.7% alcohol brew from Spencer, Massachusetts. The certified Trappist ale comes in 330mL bottles. It’s a near totally black ale with a fairly thick tan head.

Spencer’s imperial stout has a warm, malty nose with a whiff of anise. The beer has a malt-driven flavour that is rich in molasses and leather notes. The front end is smooth, but the back end has some bitterness, some funky yeast, and a bit of smokey tang.

Not the best imperial stout I’ve ever become acquainted with, but not a bad one either, Imperial Trappist Stout is a strong and flavourful beer worth trying.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
