Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary - Fritz and Ken's Ale (Imperial Stout)

Aged in my fridge for 10 months, beginning in March 2010; imbibed last night, January 5, 2011.

Posthumous reflection:

Appearance -  black body with an immense, fluffy light beige head.  Inky.  The body falls back through the head after sipping, rendering a chocolate colored trail.

Smell - Dark, deep roasted malts; citrus hops in the back.

Taste - Deep roasted malts; charcoal; alcohol taste is quite reserved. 

Mouthfeel - Thick and aggressive.

Drinkability - Loved the brew and would definitely drink a bunch of it, but considering the brew sits at over 9% ABV, I'd have to take it easy.
