This deep dark delight harkens back to the days when such brews were shipped to the Imperial Court of Russia. With a firm roasty maltiness balanced against a generous helping of hops, Northwind has what it takes to stand up to the worst its namesake can dish out! Enjoy it by a roaring fire. Formerly called Iditarod Imperial Stout.

Bottle: many thanks to Drake! Pours black, a bit thick, with a small tan head. Aroma is cocoa, sweet caramel, molasses. Flavor is molasses, light ash, sweet caramel, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, raisin. Very sweet... too much.

On tap at Two Brothers Taphouse, Scottsdale. Black with a small tan head. Aroma and taste of dark malt, chocolate and some coffee. Also notes of dark fruit. A bit on the sweet side with a rather long finish.
