Rogue XS Imperial Stout 2011

Sorry guys/gals, no picture of this...it was too difficult to take a picture of a dark ceramic bottle in artificial light. (Yes, I seriously typed that after drinking an 11% bomber). So....

Rogues XS Imperial Stout...it comes in a fancy ceramic bottle with a plug-thing...it costs about 12 bucks...no light can pass through it. There is nothing else I can ask for for coolness and value. The beer pours with very little carbonation, and (in case you missed it above) pitch black. This is one of the best cups of coffee I have had in recent memory (excluding the obvious previous posts, of course). Very roasty finish, bitter overall (black coffee and baker's chocolate), and no taste of booze whatsoever. I'd say this doesn;t really need age to be a good beer. Its very simple and is extremely drinkable (especially for the hardcore coffee drinker)....and it only gets better as it warms. While I am a fan here, I would not recommend this to the faint of heart..
