36. Tool Goliat Imperial Coffee Stout



While I was searching for beers within Bottle Revolution, I opted to try one of their draughts while I was there.  The owner recommended this one to me, as I am a coffee stout fan, and I decided to give it a go.  Tool (http://www.to-ol.dk) (it is a different type of spelling, but I'm too lazy to make it right) is out of Denmark, so the higher cost is from shipping.  

The beer's color was something like motor oil, with a finger's worth of mocha head.  You could easily pick out the coffee scent in this beer.  The coffee, chocolate, and toffee malt flavors will smack you right in the mouth as soon as you take a drink.  It's sweeter than expected, and there's a boozy aftertaste there..not too noticeable, but noticeable enough.  This beer is dangerous.  Put it this way, I only had an 11 oz pour and I was feeling the effects from this bad boy.  10.1% ABV, it's packing some heat.  The 11 oz I had was more than enough.  I don't think I could handle any more than that.

Grade: B+
Price paid: $5.80 (11 oz draught)
