Karl Strauss Wreck Alley Imperial Stout

Of the several Karl Strauss beers that I’ve received over the years, my least favorite (oddly enough, given my love of them) was a stout. The brewery’s 22nd Anniversary brew was an Imperial Stout that was formed from a blend that included barrel aging nonetheless. How could this not be my favorite of the bunch!? [...] [...]

‘Twas a Dark & Stormy Diner

I had a couple pints of Dark & Stormy, the famed Imperial Stout by now defunct Airdale Brewing Co., at Corvette Diner last night.  It appears to be a regular entry on their beer menu.  With production ceased, it won’t be long befor… [...]

Yeti Emerges to Celebrate Leap Day

The Yeti is a notoriously scarce monster, only emerging from the highlands occasionally to haunt the dreams of small Nepalese children. While its Oak Aged, Chocolate Oak Aged, Espresso Oak Aged, Belgian and classic Imperial Stout siblings may look nicer–rest assured, they’re equally fearsome. This Wednesday, Leap Day, we will be celebrating a rare day with a rare beast. Join Great Divide between [...] [...]

The Abyss – Deschutes 2010

Deep and Dark, this full bodied stout lives up to its name. I thought this might be a dryer stout, but I was pleasantly surprised by its sweetness. A nice malt sweetness balanced by a little bitter oakey, tannin, hop,… [...]

Nøgne Ø Imperial Stout Cognac Barrel

Det er ingen hemmelighet at jeg er en stor fan av Imperial Stouts. Ingenting er som en tyktflytende stout på rundt 10% med kraftig smak av mørk/brent/røkt malt og en varmende alkoholsmak. I så måte er Nøgne Ø Imperial Stout en av mine favoritter. Nøgne Ø lagret denne i ett år på fat som tidligere [...] [...]

Shiner Wild Hare: A Valentine’s Day Quickie

This reminded me today that I had not done my post on Wild Hare. The folks at McGarrah Jessee were kind enough to send me a few bottles to “review.” The beer was good. An almost solid pale ale. Nice bitterness. Easy to drink. It was bit muddy maltwise…. [...]

Three Floyds – Dark Lord 2009

Mysteriously dark – like a black hole in space – with minimal head, Dark Lord 2009 was impressive. This is the biggest Imperial Stout that I have ever enjoyed. It’s on par for density and richness with Bourbon County Stout…. [...]
