Boasting notes of freshly-brewed espresso and rich chocolate, Dormancy Imperial Stout was conditioned on locally-roasted coffee beans from Yakima's Lincoln Avenue Coffee Co. As winter settles in to the Pacific Northwest and the hop fields surrounding our brewery lay dormant, this beer was crafted to remind us that good things can still happen in the off-season for hops.

I’ll break up a streak of fine folks that randomly all enjoyed this at Cloudburst. Hop famous brewery, featured at another hop famous brewery, with their least hoppy beer. Though it is quite hoppy for a stout. Enjoyed in a pint at Thirsty Hop, Kirkland. Jet black pour with a thick tan cream head and lacing. Very mocha like stout here. Chocolate and caramel nose. Massive coffee bean impression with the flavor here. Lingering coffee bitterness. A total standout beer for these guys. Wouldn’t expect it one but, but this beer proves to me they are much more than a pale ale brewer. Solid stout to say the least. I could use this in the AM in gamedays before i head to Safeco and drink Field 41 for 8 hours straight.
