A hearty brew that is black as night with a strong roasted malt character and a full body that should satisfy any stout cravings. Chocolate and caramel nuances blend with the hops for a smooth Imperial Stout. Half the batch will be racked in bourbon casks, after a year of aging it will be released as Black Gold Bourbon Barrel Stout in February 2011. It’s a stellar cellar beer, so make sure you put a few bottles away this year to compare it to next year’s bourbon barrel batch. Available in 22oz. bottles and draught. ABV 8% IBU 65

    Black as night with only a faint garnet heart under a strong light, topped with a dark tan head. Strong charred malt and chocolate aromas. Not as heavy as it looks, the slightly creamy body brings dark and bittersweet chocolate, charred grain huskiness and espresso. A smooth, balancing dryness follows that seems to be a combination of hops and dark roasted grain. There’s a light alcohol bite, but the flavors almost cover it up. Lots of chocolate is left behind along with that grain husk dryness. Very well made Imperial Stout.

    Pours black as you'd expect with a thin tan head. Excellent lacing. All the right ingredients for a full on gorilla sex imperial stout - chock full of coffee and cocoa, this is one very fine beer at a very affordable price point.
