All About Imperial Stout
Let's take a quick trip in the time machine. Imperial Stout is a dark and robust beer style that originated in England in the 18th century. It is also known as Russian Imperial Stout, because it was brewed to withstand the arduous journey from England to the court of the Russian czars. Imperial Stout is characterized by its high alcohol content, usually above 8%, which helps to preserve the beer during transportation.
The flavor profile of an Imperial Stout is dominated by rich and intense roasted malt flavors, which impart notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and caramel. The maltiness is balanced by a moderate to high level of bitterness, often provided by hops or roasted barley. The finish is typically slightly sweet, with a warming sensation from the high alcohol content. Nice for a cold winter night!
Imperial Stout is a versatile beer that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with rich and hearty foods such as stews, roasts, and chocolate desserts. It is typically served at cellar temperature, around 50-55°F, to allow the complex flavors to fully develop. Imperial Stout is a favorite among beer enthusiasts (read maniacs) for its bold flavors and strong character, making it the go-to choice for those who crave a full-bodied and intense beer experience.
