Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout

Sierra Nevada knows how to brew black ales. I stuck a spoon in it and couldn't see the spoon! No head other than a token layer of mocha foam, and zero carbonation. Aroma and taste of dark chocolate and dark roasted coffee. A lot creamier than I expected, and sweet - not at all dry or bitter. No alcohol heat from the 10+% ABV, but a whiskey-like kick after the first third is consumed. A little bit o' smokiness and some figs on the back end. Without a doubt a great beer for the dark months ahead.
