LUCIFERIN GOLDEN IMPERIAL STOUT

A NEW COLLABORATIVE BREW FROM STONE AND BREWDOG

The beer was brewed with intense amounts of extra pale malt for body. Additionally sack loads of oatmeal were utilized to provide the rich and supple mouth-feel. Loads of cocoa nibs were thrown into the brew kettle to give the beer demonic bitter chocolate flavours, which intertwine menacingly with liquorice which was added during the boiling of the golden wort. English Noble hops provide an herbal, earthy and spicy backbone, which perfectly compliment the rich, dark flavours. A late addition of Galena hops giving the beer a satisfying twist of a poached pear and plum finish.

To add the classic imperial stout roastiness and fullness one would expect, the beer was aged after fermentation for six months in specially-selected Lagavulin casks stuffed with two pounds each of dark roasted Jamaican Blue Ridge whole coffee beans. The fact that the beans remained whole meant colour pick up was negligible, but the six months allowed for significant pick up of rich coffee and roasted flavours.

Wow, how expensive is that? The process is ridiculously over the top.

No idea. I've had Stone's golden stout before, it wasn't too spendy. I'm sure this one is another story.

I'm enjoying these two beers.

I just had this one today.



Might be an old label though, b/c the sign said it was a Pumpkin/Sweet Potato Ale at 10%.

Either way, it was pretty damned good.

Oh man, I can't wait to share my list here of the brews I had yesterday at hoptoberfest. Might be another day as I am in recovery mode from yesterday

[E.H. Ruddock]

Ok so I can't remember a bunch of the beers, but I did have A LOT of two that I really liked. Most of the beers there were local, except for Lagunitas and New Holland. Anyway, the two I remember and really liked were:

Check 6 (Southport, NC) Pope Imperial Porter
RJ Rockers and Holy City (Spartanburg, SC and Charleston, SC) Collaboration: Half Calf Coffee Stout.

Trader Joe's has an Abbey Style Blonde brewed for them by Unibroue. Audaciter. Pretty respectable.

Gawd I hate everything I've ever tried by Unibroue. My friend bought me a variety pack once. Awful.

[B]

You're wrong. Sad.

[doone]

Totally agree at the suckiness of Unibroue.
