On Tap at Stout NYC
At bars like Stout with a nice selection of craft beer, it's always nice to get a recommendation based on what you've already drank that nice. The bartenders at Stout NYC know their beer.
Kujo Imperial Coffee pours a very dark chocolate color, not quite black and with brown chocolate-y tints. There's a very faint ring of dark brown head. On the nose you get very strong dark chocolate notes, mixed with a bit of vanilla and a little bit of coffee, maybe even espresso. The taste is also a very strong dark chocolate (almost makes me wonder why this wasn't called Kujo Dark Chocolate Imperial Stout), balanced by less dominant but very present vanilla/caramel/toffee and coffee/espresso notes that balances well and plays very nicely with the imperial stout style. Very little carbonation in this, and the alcohol, at 8.9% ABV is only a little present. Overall a very solid presentation by Flying Dog Brewery.
Overall Rating: 4/5
