Imperial Stout Appreciation Thread (2022)

Lots here…if you traded.

 

Got nuthin to trade.

 

Dancing Gnome? Weyerbacher? Voodoo? All sorts of tasties things in PA!

 

I’ll be buying some next time they have their cellar sale. If you are ok with cross border trading, I can let you know when I have some. Cheers.

 

Never tried it before…across borders.

 

I’ll need to find more of these…

 

I picked up a bruery banana nut muffin because of everyone here. Yall better be right.

 

More expensive. Slight added risk of customs seizures (once in about 100 sent or received boxes in my experience). That’s about it for differences.

 

Once upon a time I could go over the border into Canada. Peace Bridge or Rainbow Bridge. Used to visit Happy Jack’s for Chinese food, and visit the gentlemen’s clubs…I mean scenic trails in my younger days. Now I don’t even know what hassle is needed to travel. Wife misses her IKEA trips.

 

I’m done with Bruery beers. Super disappointed with every one I’ve had. Hope you like it, though. The stouts lean way too sweet for me

 

Never had a bruery stout. So we shall see.

 

Levante: “ Bogart Blondie “ Imperial Pastry Stout “. Imperial Stout with Brown Sugar, Vanilla, White Chocolate.

 

Popped the top on that vanilla Cinnamon speedway stout and it was gross. Prickly, over carbonated, fake bitter Cinnamon. Drain pour.... but this BA narwhal is where it's at. Roasty. Oak. Booze. Very good.

 

Glad I grabbed a single. I had a 4x in my hand and put it back. I like vanilla, and I like Cinnamon, but somehow alesmith evoked the worst aspects of those ingredients in that beer.
The BA narwhal on the other hand is great. It's not the best ba stout I've had, but for the price, it's as good as they come.

 

I had the Alesmith Double Fudge and thought I had a bad can or my taste buds were off for whatever reason. They nailed the “Bitterest Coffee” aspect so once I gave up looking for fudge I could enjoy it. But if they are all like that, definitely a miss.
