Imperial Stout Appreciation Thread (2022)

Really good Chocolate Hazelnut Stout from R. Shea. 9.25%. Cheers!

 

This is a "New to Me" Stout that @jzeilinger was good enough to introduce me to. Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout, ABV 12.7%.



Very drinkable and definitely very aromatic. I like it.

Cheers BAs.

 

Thank you! My favorite of all the Black Ravens (local for me). IMO should be one of the top 5 most distributed Imperial stouts, in the Narwhal/Old Rasputin category. And a nice honest stout without gimmickry. Too bad BR's flagship dark is the coconut porter.

 

Been wanting this beer for about 4 years now. The PM Dawn series is so good, but the peanut butter version has always eluded me!

 

Hey all,

Picked up 3 imperial stouts from Zebulon Brewing recently which is in the greater Asheville area.
Thought i would start with the Traditional Imperial Stout, which is brewed in the fashion as if brewed for export to the Russian imperial court back in the 1800's.
Executed exactly as envisioned with the malt base that is very roasted and emits notes of dark chocolate and coffee and hopped very heavily. Have to say this is the most bitter brew i have had this year including IPA's LOL. Rated it a 4.58 overall.
Zebulon's owner/brewer Mike Karnowski is known for his take on historical recipes and executing them quite well. Hope to visit the taproom soon!
Cheers!
Tom

 

Nothing going on here today so I decided I’d spend the evening sipping something nice.

Darkness has always held up well in my experience and this is no exception. The amount of carb had me worried for a second but all is well. Drinking like a big mocha milkshake. Not sure if this is my favorite non-BA unadulterated impy stout but it’s damn close. Hope everyone is having a safe & stouty holiday weekend.

 

I like many stouts: Imperial, milk, dry , etc.. This one is the absolute f’ing best! Trilium, “Almond Crunch “.

 

Heavy hitting grand slam there my friend! Cheers!

 

Tree House Chocolate Fudge Cake imperial milk stout

4.24/5 rDev -1.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25



Reaching deep into the beer cellar and I pull out…chocolate fudge cake

Brewers Notes: Chocolate Fudge Cake is an imperial milk stout brewed with chocolate, cocoa powder, and vanilla beans. It is intended to emulate the delicious flavor profile of chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, and boy does it ever. Enjoy it with someone you love.

Black motor oil poured into a Tree House snifter , pencil thick creamy brown layer quickly fades to a ring,

Aroma is cocoa powder, milk chocolate

Taste is sweet, Hershey syrup milk chocolate, fudge brownie, vanilla frosting , it tastes like liquid chocolate fudge cake

Sweetness lingers, more sweet than stout, it is a sweet sweet beer

Good beer but i need a shot of insulin as a chaser

 

That’s a great one! Cheers

 

Holy cow! Six more pages to read here. Boy am I behind. I’ll just have to read onward. No more likes, that will just clutter everyone’s alerts. Know that I am vicariously enjoying your posts.

 

happy 4th fellow ‘mericans. non-US-of-A’ers - happy monday. pre-yardwork beer. needed something that would simultaneously ramp me up and that i could also run my mower engine on

in all seriousness, picked this single can up on Friday while visiting StL and it’s solid. not a ton of coconut but it’s there and compliments the weller barrels perfectly. i gave it an overall rating of 4.42. the 12oz can (which set me back $10) is a wonderful format and cheers to 2nd shift for allowing single can purchases instead of shelling out for $40 4pks. they know what’s up!

hope everyone has a nice day! cheers!
