Jester King Farmhouse Black Metal Imperial Stout

I ordered a bottle of Jester King Farmhouse Black Metal Imperial Stout from Michael Jackson’s Rare Beer of the Month Club. Note the photo is of the non-Farmhouse version. The beer pours a black color with a frothy tan head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of chocolate, toasted malts, barnyard funk, vanilla, and lemon. The taste is full of toasted malt flavor and plenty of dark chocolates. There is a light funk about the beer before some caramel and hay come out on the tongue. The alcohol content is 9.0% ABV. This was a delicious beer and it had a great flavor, but I definitely liked the original version of this beer compared to the Farmhouse version. The light funk was great, but it definitely killed the milky chocolate goodness of the original.

One of the bottles I brought to a small bottle share event was the Jester King Black Metal Imperial Stout, a beer I received in a beer trade with Lee from Hoptopia. The beer pours a black color with a frothy tan head. The aroma consists of coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. The taste is big on coffee and lots of toasted malts. The finish brings out a wonderful vanilla flavor with some oak accents. The alcohol content is 10.4% ABV. This Imperial Stout was smooth and excellent, and I really would like to acquire another bottle to have again. Being that it was a bottle share, I only got a small sample, and this beer was too good not to have again.
