After 3 months sitting on bourbon soaked and toasted oak chips, I’ve kegged the remaining robust porter. It smells great and the sample I had while racking the beer suggests that it’s going to be a doozy. Stay tuned. [...]

2010 Stone Imperial Russian Stout aged in bourbon barrels. The name speaks for itself. Aged 2 years.
On the label for the Stone Imperial Russian Stout, we’ve waxed poetically for the last dozen years about the sinfully decadent richness of the beer. Alas, we seem to have pointed ourselves in the corner with fanciful descriptions, as we now find that there are simply not enough superlatives to begin to approach this special two-year-old bourbon barrel aged version. Mere waxing poetic is far too limiting. What we really need is art and music. A proper description might possibly be accomplished with … Read the rest

Hercule Stout from Brasserie Des Legendes, Ellezelles, Belgium is name for famed Belgian detective (actually, more of a fictional literary character) and I detect an amazing chain of events are about to occur. It pours tar black and lets no light through. In fact, it devours light and spits out spent photons. Hercule’s 1/4″ head [...] [...]

Repeating an experiment, I realized last summer’s beer was actually just off. This Belle Gueule Rousse was pretty fine with a wood oven pizza, the malty richness cut by the char of the crust. I didn’t try it with all 75 varieties offered by Pizza Il Fo… [...]

Xbeeriment Black Force One
Det er ingen hemmelighet at jeg elsker Imperial Stouts. Disse mørke smaksbombene med smak av kaffe, sjokolade og søtlig maltsmak med en lett, brennende alkoholsmak. Mørk, mørk brun ved skjenking. Mokkaskum. Fantastisk fyldig smak. Fyldig i munnen med de velkjente kaffe, sjokolade og kakao-smakene. Både skarp og mild på en gang. Nydelig bitterhet. Litt som [...] [...] Read more →
