Evil Twin Brewing Even More Jesus Imperial Stout

Evil Twin is a brewery in Brooklyn NY run by Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso, whose twin brother Mikkel Borg-Bjergso runs the Danish brewery Mikkeler in Copenhagen. Both Mikkeler and Evil Twin are non-traditional breweries in that the brewmasters come up with recipes and farm out the actual brewing to other brewers. And incidentally the brothers can't stand each other! And before I get into the review, I have no idea why this beer is called Even More Jesus.

Even More Jesus poured a deep, tarry black, with a three-finger head that was so thick that you could walk on it. The consistency is thick and syrupy, there's a medium hoppiness and a pungent aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. As it moves toward room temperature molasses and dark fruits, figs, black cherries and dates, become evident. There's some moderate heat from the 12% ABV. Overall a great brew for a cool, rainy night.
