MacTarnahan’s Brewing Goose Bump Imperial Stout is the brewery and beer featured on this beer blog post. This beer is no longer being made. If you are interested in trying this brew, you better go out and find this beer. If you read my earlier beer blog on their Belgian Style Ale, you know the history of this brewery. If you have not, please, read that beer blog post to get to know them. Let us get into the beer.
It has a jet black color with a constant tan color. The smell is like burned chocolate with slight coffee notes. The taste of this big body beer is creamy and smooth chocolate notes with notes of coffee. The aftertaste is dry crisp coffee bean that fades out. It is a sipping beer.

Closing, I brought up a ton of this brew because it was marked down. I know for past experience with Imperial Stout. They can last for a good five years. I was not worried about buying this beer out of code this year. This brew is really good right now and it will get better over time. The coffee is pretty heavy at first but it calms down in the later part of the bottle or the drinking experience. This is a great beer and I am sad they stop making this brew. If you can find, I would try it. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/
Cheers!
