Shifting Squall is brewed with a robust grist composition featuring choice English Golden Promise, oats, chocolate and roasted malts and hopped with Cascade, Chinook, and Bravo in the whirlpool. This beer underwent a double-mash process which involved two separate mashes collected together and boiled for an extended period, allowing for further development of flavor. Shifting Squall pours jet black with a cascading mocha tan head and presents a complex flavor profile of fruity dark malts, chocolate-citrus, baker’s chocolate, and roasty burnt brownie edges rounded out by a pleasant resinous hop bitterness.

On tap at Uno Chicago Grill in Hamilton, NJ. Opaque black pour. Brief tan head. Sweet roasted malt aroma. Big roasted malt flavor hints at molasses, espresso and bittersweet chocolate. Big boozy notes! Intense hoppiness balanced the rich, thick roasty characteristics. Make no mistake, this is a huge stout that is best sipped slowly. Maybe the hoppiest Imperial Stout I have ever tasted. Wow!

Bitter chocolate, roasted coffee. A piney, resinous finish. Well done.
