Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Founders Brewing Imperial Stout.
From the Founders Brewing website: “Brewed
with ten varieties of malted barley, this stout is smooth as silk, yet complex
and rich in body. Serve this guy at cellar temperature. Put another log on the
fire, sit back and enjoy the friendship of this ultimate winter warmer.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
black with an incredibly thin mocha colored head and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Roasted
malts, dark chocolate, coffee, some molasses, smoke and dark fruits.
Taste: Dark
chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, some caramel, vanilla and dark fruits.
Overall: Smooth
and thick, Founders Brewing Imperial Stout is world class. This massive 10.5% ABV offering is amazingly
good and something I highly recommend seeking out.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
