Sweetwater Brewery:
Happy Endings Imperial Stout
Bottle: Gold foil sealed and "Groelsh Style" flip top with a huge solid black bottle. Drawing and art work kept with classic Sweetwater style and the name - Happy Endings - was begging to be experimented.
Pour: Total Darkness, pours like the soul of the devil. There is absolutely no light at all in the glass, I have never seen a color this black. The head is the same color of whipped chocolate milk. Deep brown and highly carbonated even after pour. Head held till the very end.
Taste: The taste was very well defined and had a sharp and distinct Stout flavor. Sometimes you run into the "Imperial Stout" that tastes more like roasted malt with chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, and Guinness - its nice to have such a welcome surprise of a true Imperial that is happy to be itself. I was really happy with everything about the beer and for once I think that Sweetwater (God bless 'em) has found something that they can't rape with HOPS! It has a slight almost almond or vanilla on the finish. It is a stout standard in my book and is so smooth that it reserves a spot as a session beer for a cool spring night. Highly recommended. But get em quick!! --each one of the bottles are numbered by hand individually sold...I don't know how long they are gonna be at your local Quicktrip. GO GO GO!

Post Script: I had to use random persons photo since my camera is MIA at the moment.
