Mr. Ombibulous by Volstead Brewing Company is a must-try for any fan of Imperial Stouts. This highly acclaimed brew is crafted in Wellington, New Zealand, showcasing the expertise of the Volstead team. The appearance of Mr. Ombibulous is nothing short of impressive, pouring a rich, opaque black with a dense, creamy tan head that leaves a delicate lacing down the glass. The aroma is an intense bouquet of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and hints of molasses, vanilla, and tobacco, enticing the senses. The flavor of this beer is complex and full-bodied, with a symphony of roasted and malty flavors. Dominated by bitter chocolate and espresso, the beer also features underlying notes of caramel, toffee, and licorice. A subtle sweetness beautifully balances the intense bitterness, creating a harmonious and satisfying experience. The mouthfeel is rich and velvety, with a medium-full body and a creamy texture that coats the palate, thanks to the very low carbonation.
