Hops: Northern Brewer in the boil, the Northern Brewer, Willamette and Cascade (four further additions).

Intriguingly, dried tart cherries were added to the hopback, and dried Bing cherries (and oak chips) put into the Brite tanks.

[1] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/24/2008 9:46:24 PM)
"Sampled from draft at Schlafly's Repeal party. A thick imperial stout with tons of oak. Cherry is present, but subdued. I've become a fan of NABC. Worth seeking out.

[2] Review by drewseslu from Saint Louis, MO, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/24/2006 1:31:38 AM)
"While not the greatest Imperial Stout to date, on its sheer style merits, the combination of twists elevates this to wonderful status. High alcohol content is hid well by rich maltiness, forthright hoppiness and a tangy addition of cherries and all is mellowed by the tannic oak which brings out the cherry further, but still in the background. Very nice."
