Imperial Stout Appreciation Thread (2023)

Not the first one and not the best one but definitely one of the most easily accessible BBA stouts. Darned tasty too.

 

2022 Rev cafe deth. still drinking great. splendid mix of chocolate, coffee and bourbon oak barrel.

cheers!

 

Yes, yes it is.

 

cheers boys

 

Haven't had any 22 yet. Been trying to get my hands on some. Still drinking the last of the 2020 that remains on shelves here and no complaints by any means. Cheers.

 

I got in 12 oz cans, of which I only have 4 left! @Resistance88 gets it on tap in Pasadena! Tastes amazing!

 

Even better than Speedway?!

 

“Hippy Sippy “ Imperial Stout from Fat Heads is my new “go-to “ Imperial Stout since I can’t find anymore Stone, “Imperial Stout “! Thank you, Ohio!

 

My mistake! Speedway from Alesmith isn’t barrel aged!

 

Had to have one of these today. It just needed to be done, now I’m down to 3.
From 2019:

Definitely not the breakfast Stout, this has the espresso and dark chocolate flavors with some bitterness from the hops that keep it from becoming sweet. Some imperial stouts I am happy with 8 ounces, some are ideal at 12. This one should be sold by the pint, too tasty to stop at 12.

 

This beer is intense. I think this recent release has a lower ABV than previous editions. The coffee flavor is really nice.

 

I don't recall having a beer impress me as much as this beer did. 17.2% ABV. The smell is gorgeous. The flavor is exceptional. Thank you for this experience, @cheeseheadinMinneapolis!

 

Ceylon Swirl from Tree House. Cinnamon, vanilla, coffee. Haven’t had a good pasty stout in a while, and TH does them so well. Adjuncts aren’t heavy handed, and the sweetness is contained.

 

Enjoying a post dinner black gold sipper from Great Divide: “Yeti “! Cheers to our Colorado brethren: @eppCOS and @beergoot !
