Imperial Stout Appreciation Thread (2023)

All youse guys got me thirsty and then I remembered I had one of these in the cellar.
I host a Stout Appreciation Night once a month and this one is my highest rated non BA stout. Hits the right notes for me.
Cheers all.
My afternoon at work should be interesting.

 

I've shockingly never had this. Have had many of the BA version. One of my favs

 

I think the non BA version is better balanced, thus I prefer it. You definitely should give it a try and let us know what you think.

 

Did you get this recently or had it the fridge a while?

edit...actually just noticed thats not the High West BA version..I think they carry that Delmar year round and only release the HW aged once per year...it's a fine brew either version

 

This was a fresh purchase from a week or so back

 

Yummm, I was really in the mood to drink that imaginarily this morning.

 

Over 70 cans with the old design, taking advantage of a cool overnight with the windows open and still cool inside.

Always refrigerate these and you should have a similar enjoyable experience regardless of age. This one was canned 10/1/21.

 

Impressive collection. I try to refrigerate all beer except barleywines that would take up too much room in the fridge. They can hold up better than almost any style, so it’s the obvious choice

 

Is it ok to start at 9:30 if the beer is called ‘Breakfast’? A little on the sweet side, but definitely a nice beverage.

 

I'd say "Yes". Looks better than oatmeal!

 

Imprint Beer Co (Hatfield, PA) - Too many words on the label, but bottom line it's a Maple Vanilla Imperial Stout

 

The words "breakfast", "waffle", "pancake", "muffin", "morning", "sunrise", "dawn", and "daybreak" in the name of a beer make it perfectly valid to drink in the morning. That said, I get the ol' stink eye when I explain that to my wife. Luckily, I'm always up hours before she is.

 

A summer BA stout. One of my favorites. The new packaging is nice. What are your thoughts on drinking a beer like this in hot weather?

 

Never too hot for BA Pastry Stouts! I'll have to watch for this one, s'mores are my jam.

 

I suggest two big stouts tonight. Deadlifts early tomorrow.

 

I will save one for you, for when you go to a game in town this fall.

 

Yup. Definitely coconut. Too much for me.
