This beer Imposter Golden Stout is from Concord, North Carolina, slightly north of Charlotte. This golden stout has coffee and vanilla. This beer comes in at 5.7% ABV. I have not had any beer from High Branch, but I have seen them here and there. This style, golden stouts are not made or seen that much. I have only seen one other golden stout Wooden Robot Brewery’s Good Morning Vietnam. This golden stout pours a cream/cloudy yellow color with a three-finger rocky white head. The aroma is sweet with vanilla and some slight coffee. The flavor is vanilla, sweet, faint coffee in the middle of the mouth. There is a bitterness that is more like coffee bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium. Then this golden stout finish with a light Latte flavor. Then you get a bittersweet aftertaste that is slightly more sweet than bitter. Imposter Golden Stout is a C+. I found the bitterness to be a little off-putting. That bitterness does throw off the overall flavor. I don’t think this dethrones Wooden Robot Brewery’s Good Morning Vietnam is my favorite golden stout. Please stay safe, be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
