Wake Up Dead Nitro Russian Imperial Stout is a meaty number from
Longmont, Colorado. It's brewed by the Left Hand Brewing Company, comes
in 12oz bottles, and contains a mighty 10.2% alcohol.
According
to the label, it's got a "super smooth trifecta of cocoa, dried fruit
and licorice notes." To my nose, roasted oats, jumbo malts, copper, and
plums were the dominant aromas. I found the flavour to be really
complicated, with a real network of tastes. There was fruit, woody rum,
coffee, and chocolate all rolled up into one tasty glass of beer. At the
back end there was even a heap of bitterness.
This big stout offered lots and asked only for the last vestiges of my sobriety. It was bold and big, yet smooth and complex.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
