Black Mojo by Sprig and Fern Brewery is a captivating Imperial Stout that promises to delight the senses. With an impressive alcohol volume of 5.0%, this stout pours a pitch-black hue, crowned by a thick, creamy tan head that leaves a delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma is a tantalizing blend of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, burnt caramel, and a subtle hint of vanilla, inviting you to take a closer look. The flavor profile is equally impressive, boasting rich and full-bodied notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and molasses, with hints of burnt toast, toffee, and a touch of licorice in the background. The finish is bittersweet, with lingering flavors of chocolate and roasted malt. The mouthfeel of Black Mojo is truly remarkable, as it is thick and chewy, with a velvety texture that coats the palate. The moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle on the tongue, adding to the overall experience. This Imperial Stout is a testament to the expertise and craftsmanship of Sprig and Fern Brewery, making it a perfect choice for sipping and savoring on a cozy evening or pairing with rich desserts like chocolate cake or tiramisu.
