Well, well. What sits in front of you, this thick, monstrous, viscous … this is the Russian Imperial Stout. This is the crème de la crème of the beer world. The empress of Russia couldn’t get enough of it. This being the US of freaking A makes this the free world’s style, thus, the American Presidential nomenclature. Catherine the Great would have sat in the Hermitage and asked why jalapeños smoked over Arizona mesquite were used. We say this to CTG: This is ’Merica and this is Wilderness. This is OUR stout. Enjoy — we poured our hearts and souls into this one!

Draft @ Beavertown Extravaganza'17. Boire/brune, col beige crémeux. Arôme au nez malté, caramel, fin grillé avec effet de piments écrasés qui arrivent plus en rétro et accompagnent un effet de biscuité. Petite note fumée du boise de mesquite. Palais est bien ne ligne de gros stout américains, retrouve qcq éléments de levure tirant sur un effet de farmhouse surtout niveau levure. Petite note fumée venant des piments avec un rappel de chipotle. Chaleur reste modérée sur un caractère de malt correct.

(thanks for sharing!) Sampled draft @ The Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. Day 1. Black, little tanned head. Nose is basic roast, roasted coffee, chocolate, cacao, bit too heavy on the roast for me. Basic roasted malt, cacao, coffee grounds, low umami. Thick roast malts body. Nice even if a bit too heavy on the roast for me.

Keg at BE. It pours darkest brown - black with a small bubbly tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, charred wood, plum, blueberry, chocolate cake and toasted nut. The taste is smooth, rich roasted malt, charred wood, warming alcohol, decent bitterness, wood, earthy, leather, spice, pepper and alcoholbating with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent Imperial stout more savoury than anything else.
