Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Lagunitas Brewing Company
Imperial Stout.
From the Lagunitas Brewing Company website: “Dark and
thick like your favorite dessert with a Bonus. Highly roasted malted barley,
and plenty of it, gives the beer uncommon richness and smoky, roasty depth…
kinda like a hydraulic sandwich in a glass.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours pitch black with a thin tan light tan head
and great lacing.
Aroma: Roasted grains and loads of chocolate, coffee, brown
sugar and caramel.
Taste: Large chocolate malts take center stage with a nice
coffee finish. Nutty, malty, sweet,
caramelly and balanced with a touch of hops.
Overall: Super smooth and tasty, Lagunitas Brewing Company’s
Imperial Stout is amazingly good. Of
course I shouldn’t be surprised as I am a HUGE fan of Lagunitas. At 9.9% ABV this will always have a place in
my beer fridge. I love it!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
