Imperial Stout Appreciation Thread (2023)

Cool! We are staying at a condo at the Peek 'n Peak resort situated just south of I-86 and Findlay Lake.
Cheers!

Thanks Dan, it has been fun! We'll see about tacking on another 2 hours to a 10-hour driving day...nothing ventured, nothing gained!

 

I think they pitch it as “lactose” but I could be wrong.

 

The golfing is reportedly very nice there…never been yet.

 

Just found a few bottles of Weldwerks: Old Rip Medianoche just sitting on a shelf. Guy at the front told me only 5 cases made it into the entire state. Had to pick it up with some other goodies @Resistance88 would approve of. Fresh KBS (first sighting in a while) and barrel aged Ten Fidy. What a time to be alive

 

love this response so much

 

i love the interplay, love the bullshitting / sarcasm, love the imperial stouts (and even the not quite imperial stouts)

cheers!!

 

This is one of the most successful threads on here. KBS incoming

 

A bit more chocolate than the last few batches I’ve had. A little more alcohol heat, too. Always good

 

2016 was a good one. 2020 my favorite of all time. Only have two left. You’ve been drinking a bunch of old vintages recently. Do you notice any difference in the pre-pasteurization ones? Never been lucky enough to have any older than 2016

 

Not saying you’re wrong. But I’ve had some incredibly lucky instances on these forums. One example: random DM from someone who wanted to send me a stout I’d never had. Package came and it had 10 cans in it (he never mentioned sending anything else). Many of them whales to me that I never imagined getting to try (Supermassive Cafe Deth). I offered to send him some stuff to repay him, and he declined. There’s some real legends on here

 

Sounds good. BL been going off the rails recently

 

Harvested zucchini and made bread. Willetized paired well. Cheers.
