Stouts can be an anytime, any-season beer. I think it depends on your mood. This particular stout or imperial is 10W-40 Chocolate Taco. This beer is from Hi-Wire Brewing in Asheville, North Carolina. It is 8% ABV. It is a variation of their 10W-40. This beer has chocolate, vanilla, and Lactose (a sugar found in milk and other milk-based dairy products). This beer pours a deep, dark, and thick black color with a two-and-a-half-finger brown head. The aroma is sweet with chocolate, vanilla, and a milky aroma. The flavor is not too far off from its smell. This beer is chocolatey, vanilla, sweet, velvety, and thick. The mouthfeel is full and thick. The texture of this beer coats your mouth. Then this beer has a chocolate finish that lingers on into a vanilla/chocolate aftertaste. The beer is very chocolate-forward in a good way. I’d say 10W-40 Chocolate Taco Imperial Stout is an A+. This beer is what you read on the can. I highly recommend it if you’re into dark, strong stouts. It’s good from the first sip to the last. Please stay safe, always be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
