Tar black and capped with tan foam, H:2019
has a sweet, roasted malt nose accented with a splash of baked coconut.
Extremely sweet through the flavour, the beer packs strong, woody
elements, considerable booze warmth, and a crunch of toasted coconut.
Given its strength, the beer is drinkably smooth, and it only has
limited bitterness, manifested as dark chocolate and espresso at the
back end.
If I’m being honest, this beer didn’t
have the imperial stout depth that I hoped for. It was too sweet and
the coconut was used as a primary note rather than an accent. It’d be a
great digestif, and would probably go well over vanilla ice cream;
however, as a stand-alone beefy stout, it’s got a bit too much of the
peripherals and not enough of the meat and taters.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
