Tasting: May 19, 2016
Style: Imperial Stout
Beer #: 958
ABV: 12%
Liquid Double Fudge
A little boozy but no surprise given the 12% alcohol by volume. What’s a surprise is that this beer really isn’t very chocolatey or fudge like. Yes, I get some dark baker’s chocolate on the finish but it’s concealed under a sharp astringency of the aforementioned booziness and some roasted flavor. Definitely some stickiness and viscosity and that carries it to respectable territory. While this this bomber-sized bottle was just $6.99, it is definitely a one and done for me. Off the top of my head, there are better chocolate stout options readily available on New Jersey shelves – like Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout – 89 points and Southern Tier Choklat – 92 points As for Liquid Double Fudge – 87 points.
