Super Galena hops early in the boil bring a strawberry touch. Russian imperial stouts have a dark chocolate presence with vanilla nuance; quite pleasing when accented by a bold hop addition. Our walk around this space had us skirting the territory of those three tone blocks of supermarket ice cream. All we needed was an ingredient you can ferment that would push those notions without running over the beer-ness of the flavors. We turned to that classic museum snack, freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream. Drink Cosmonaut because exploration is what it’s all about.

Can, RBSG2016 grand tasting. Big clean volatile impy stout smells. Big balck color. First taste and you know this is large and in charge. Flat, no co2. Big thicker on style mouth coating rather rude impy stout flavors. Typical imp stout.

Can - Dark chocolate and dark roast. Jet black with a light brown head. Dark roast and an interesting sweetness and a touch of spice in the finish.

Can at RBSG Grand Tasting. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, spice. Thick, chewy, similar flavors to nose, spice finish, good.

Draft at Torst, 6/17/16. Dark brown/black. Big, bold, and sweet, with a strong alcohol feel as well. Lots of chocolate and vanilla come through for me, I didn't get the strawberry at all, but you could easily convince me that some of the sweet, somewhat fruity flavors in there were that strawberry ice cream. It makes logical sense. Medium-full bodied and a little sticky.
