Freedom from alcohol limitations in Ohio has finally been granted in 2016, allowing us to brew T.O.R.I.S.!! This super-tasty Triple Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout is rich, dark, and flavorful - the way we like it - this beer is intense! It has been long-awaited by our brewery as well as our fans. There comes a day when you break out of your shell, and stretch your wings. Now is the time - time for T.O.R.I.S.!!

Bottled 650ml. -from Beergium. Pitch black coloured, small brown head, heavy roasty nose. Roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, oats, light alcohol and notes of wood with roasty finish. Mild alcohol also shows up in the aftertaste but quite easy-drinkable fot the ABV. Not the best Frog I've tried but great milestone for sure.

Thanks to ShivanDragon! 655 ml. bottle sampled @ ZZT 2017. Black syrup. Nose is surprisingly alcoholic, touch of vodka, umami, thick liquorice syrup, very big. Heavy boozy but not in a way that distracts, bit crude with heavy umami liquorice syrup, raw bitter, low roast, huge & crude but pleasant, harsh finish, alcoholic raw roast syrup, boozy finish gets a bit much. Pure crude syrup. Unrefined but better than some Hoppin’ Frog Imperial Stout & tasty in the end.

Tap at Brewberry. Smell of oak, cognac, roasted malt. Black, dark brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, oak, whisky, smoke. Very bitter, very heavy body, very viscous texture. Awesome.
