Armenian Imperial Stout - First Taste

The bubbling has slowed to about once every 1 minute, 45 seconds and I want to bottle on Saturday so I thought I would take a sample to see what the SG is like. It's currently 1.026, which indicates an ABV of about 7.35%. Here's the kicker though: there is so much flavor (mostly bitter, but not all hoppy) you can't really detect the alcohol. It is most definitely an imperial stout. Dark as hell, bitter as hell (the good kind, and I expect it to mellow a bit with age), and tasty as hell. I cannot wait to get this batch bottled and aged so I can drink it!
