Imperial Stout Appreciation Thread (2023)

My local Publix had 4-packs of Westbrook Mexican Cake for $9.99. Typically you'd pay $25ish for a 4-pack retail and I've seen it higher at some ripoff places. I initially bought 2 4-packs to give other people a chance to scoop some. Each week when I went grocery shopping I'd pick up another 4-pack, until I had picked up a total of 5 4-packs (at this point, I had drank about 2 of the 4-packs).

Went there today and they were finally gone. End of an error. Seems like they coded the wrong Westbrook beer (although the beer did ring up as Mexican Cake) and next time they stock it the price won't be so good.

Great beer though. I kept thinking to myself whether I was just buying the beer because of the price or because I wanted more, but everytime I drank one I loved it, so I just kept buying.

 

No, Kokopelli will just get you pregernant.

 

I had a native american GF. she claimed Kokopelli's are naughty but nice but can't be trusted.

 

this was mighty fine. great barrel character with all three working in harmony. thick, chocolate-forward. nice collab. cheers!!

 

Tri-City Brewing - Giant Slayer Russian Imperial Stout
No idea which year this was but it’s holding up fine for me.

 

Found this today

 

Blurry for some reason, Indeed - The Queen whiskey barrel aged imperial stout.
Really enjoy Indeed’s barrel aged beers, wish they would show up consistently by me. This one’s 2 1/2 years old, aroma a bit less intense now but otherwise holding up.

 

PM Dawn. Cheers.

 

One of my personal favorites that I have had dozens of times at the brewery.

 

Is this on shelves on Minnesota?

 

Any idea how to tell the bottling date?

 

Hedonic Adaptation by Treehouse. Thanks to @mickyge fir this fine milk stout.

 

Not as far as I have ever seen. Most likely these were picked up somewhat near the brewery. I try to remember to grab some every year or two.

 

Not that I know of and I just double checked a bottle I have in the fridge.

 

Grabbed a 4 pack of dragons milk on a whim. It's not blowing me away but it's a solid ba stout. Would definitely snag a pack a couple times a year if it was on shelves in my area.

 

Definitely a good one if you can’t find anything else in that style at the beer store

 

Yeah a solid pick and a good value. Not a world beater, just a nice enjoyable ba imperial stout at a good price

 

My first sour stout and it was, well, interesting. The majority of the flavor was citrus orange with vanilla. There was some stout present but it was fleeting.
They can’t all be awesome,
