Tonight’s ale comes from Vibrant Forest Brewery. This will be the second ale I will have tried from this brewery and I am really looking forward to it as I have heard great reports about this imperial stout. This ale comes courtesy of Vibrant Forest Brewery.
Vibrant Forest Brewery, Black Oktober Imperial Russian Stout
ABV : 7.2%
Looks : This ale pours well with medium carbonation. It is black in colour with a small, tightly packed, bubbled, milk coffee coloured head.
Aroma : On the nose this ale is sweet with a dark chocolate and liquorice aroma. I can also detect dark fruits, possibly blackcurrant or over ripened figs.

Flavour : Wow!!!!! An explosion of strong flavours arouse the palate. Firstly you get a warm tingling sensation on the tongue followed by sweet dark fruits, possibly over ripened figs and juicy blackcurrants. This is then sharply followed by a deep coffee and dark chocolate bitterness which leaves a dry smokiness on the palate. There is a really nice tingling liquorice sweetness coating the mouth. Every sip is just craving another mouthful.
Finish : The ale finishes bitter and smokey with bursts of fruitiness with a tingling alcohol kick.
Rating : 10 out of 10
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! Another amazing ale by Vibrant Forest Brewery. This truly is something special.
