Night Mist had a comforting malt aroma
blessed with mocha notes and the suggestion of some dank hops. The
flavour veers from well roasted malts to a modestly bitter finish in the
space of a few beats. Along the way, there are some dark chocolate
notes and a thin wisp of pipe smoke. However, the chief note to me
seemed to be dark, dried fruit.
According to
Bandit's website, this little number has 60 IBUs, which seems about
right--really a respectable bitterness packed into this dark beer.
However, I'd have liked it to be featured a bit more assertively.
Overall, the flavour was agreeable and had few faults to pick at. Like
everything I've tasted from the Bandit repertoire, Night Mist Imperial
Stout was nicely made and genuinely good, if not elite.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
