Our Tastes-- Flex Arcana

As part of the Alfalfa & Babs conglomerate, Eduardo infiltrated our favorite growler station to provide us with this libation. Upon entering he knew he was "in" when they said "Hey brother" and no Bothans died getting us this growler. Flex-Arcana is a brew I've been dying to try and it did not disappoint. A Belgian Imperial Stout I've never had until today. Pouring an expected opacity with a tannish head with hint of pink? Nose is fantastically deep and complex. The chocolate is there with some dryness but the tastes is where it's at. A forward full mouth feel of dark slightly bitter roasted chocolate. As it passes through the palate, low and behold a minuscule cherry taste, but more as an after thought. A 10%, "top o' the morning" badge awarding lovely. My only regret is the limited nature and the half growler I got instead of the biggin'.
