Galbraith's Brewing Company has crafted a true masterpiece with their Stephen Plowman's Beastwars Pale Ale. This beer is a testament to the brewer's skill and attention to detail, delivering a captivating flavor profile that will delight the senses. The deep opaque black color is accentuated by a thick, velvety tan head that leaves a delicate lacing on the glass, setting the stage for an exceptional drinking experience. The aroma is intensely complex, with notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, and subtle hints of caramel and molasses. The flavor is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and decadent texture that coats the palate. Rich roasted malt dominates, supported by a symphony of flavors including dark chocolate, espresso, coffee liqueur, and charred oak. Hints of molasses, licorice, and caramel add depth and complexity, while a subtle smokiness lingers in the background. The moderate to high bitterness provides a balanced counterpoint to the sweetness, creating a harmonious and satisfying drinking experience. The full and creamy body, coupled with a lingering finish, make this Imperial Stout a standout choice for connoisseurs and stout enthusiasts alike.
