35th Anniversary Expedition Stout Reserve
Expedition® Stout is the longest brewed Imperial Stout in the US. First brewed in 1989 to be robust enough to hold up to time and travel, we couldn’t think of a better beer to honor for our 35th Anniversary. We’ve brewed a special, stronger version for your cellar, your travels, or those special occasions of your own.

Flaska från staterna. Backlog. Kolsvart med brun moccafärgad krona. Old school, kärvt utan att det blir för mycket, toffee, rejält med lakritstoner, lagom beska. Det är gott, men jag kanske trots allt saknar lite utav umpfen från vanliga Expedition som jag minns som så mycket bättre - särskilt med några år på nacken.

12 ounce bottle. Rating number 5️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣❗️Opaque, jet black color topped by a finger-high creamy tan head. Rich roasted malt aroma has notes of espresso and bittersweet chocolate. Flavor follows nose with added notes of treacle, licorice and tobacco. Soft, creamy mouthfeel lays on the palate like a luxurious ganache. Wonderfully complex and layered. The 11.5% ABV is amazingly subdued. Elegant and classic.

Bottle. Pours deep, dark brown with a thin tan head. Heh... looks like an Expy! Aromas are like Expy, too... although they do seem a little more deep. Leather, chocolate, coffee, a touch of plum or prune, some cream or vanilla. Pretty amazing. Flavor is OH MY GOD! It's like an Expy that has been aged perfectly with an added viscosity and creaminess. It feels silky on the palate and explodes with flavor. Completely amazing beer. I can't find a fault with it.

12oz bottle. Awesome! Robust and amazing Imperial Stout. Complex - good balance of chocolate/coffee, yet fairly sweet. Cellaring another for a few years to see how it ages. Wonderful
