Stout - Imperial Special Out of Production

Score

7.55

ABV: 12.5%

IBU: 80

Ticks: 9

A rich and fruity imperial stout infused with Cuban cigars and our homemade Cuban rum-based extract of vanilla pods from Madagascar. We wanted to balance the tobacco which can be overwhelming and dosed the cigars on the low side so you might need to warm the glass up a bit and look for the aroma. Expect a smooth round woody, earthy and sweet finish from the cigars.
