Aloha BrewTube:

In this episode of DJs BrewTube, I review a local Imperial Stout, Flying Dog Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout.  Three things that I really like are beer, coffee and chocolate.  Becauce of my propensity toward these flavored stouts are one of the styles that I gravitate toward pretty much year-round.  Kujo is the savage spawn of two brewing worlds -- coffee and beer -- colliding. But in that collision, there's a balance between rich and roasted stout characteristics and the deep, dark coffee notes. The result is an 8.9% ABV brew made with locally-roasted coffee from Black Dog Coffee out of Summit Point, West Virginia.  Lets see what flavors this well know classic beer with a twist delivers.  Enjoy the show!

Flying Dog Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout (2012) Written review follows:

Flying Dog Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout (2012) WRITTEN REVIEW:

A: Flying Dog Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout (2012) pours duper dark, opaque black with a 2 finger dark brown head of tight bubbles. Looks great in the glass, like a dark roast coffee with plenty of alcohol legs and decent lacing.

S: A lot of dark roasted coffee, caramel malt, dark & milk chocolate and som dark fruits. No alcohol aroma was detected

T: Slightly sweet up front, alcohol is well hidden in the finish. There's a nice roasted malt flavor along with the coffee notes in the background, hops are not pronounced.  Coffee and chocolate flavors linger in the finish.  In this there is balance.

M: Full bodied with creamy, lower carbonation, both a great for the style. Coats your mouth with each sip.

O: Flying Dog Brewery Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout ((2012 Vintage)) has a  nice balanced malt profile with coffee flavors that add to the experience rather than overwhelm it. Not too sweet, which I find to be an issue with some imperial stouts, well balanced overall with a surprising vanilla flavor in the background.  I recommend and will drink this beer again.

Serving type: 12 oz Bottle
