False Idol Brewing Fluffenstein

What the brewers say

“Imperial stout with marshmallows.”

What our panel thought

“Candy, vanilla nose. Unexpectedly stark, dry, with more roast and dark chocolate bitterness coming through. A strong dry roast with lingering subtle fruity sweetness. High-percentage dark chocolate in a glass.”

What our editors thought

“Low and rumbling aroma with vanilla and a curious, almost Juicy Fruit gum note. Fruitier and hoppier in the flavor than expected, with more bitterness from hops than malt, and just sweet enough.”
