Dive headfirst into decadence with our Chocolate River Imperial Stout, the thickest, most indulgent stout we’ve ever released. Inspired by a fantasy of swirling sweetness, this imperial stout delivers waves of deep chocolate malt, velvety cocoa, and a luxurious, sticky body.

Appearance is nearly black, with a small beige head which fades quickly. Aroma/ lots of chocolate, cocoa, dark malts, roast malt, coffee hints, more chocolate. Taste is lots of thick chocolate, toffee hints, roast malt, tiramisu, chocolate torte, chocolate sauce, essentially thick and rich chocolate, brown sugar, blended brownie. Slight nutty vibe at the end.
