Year of New Beer: North Wind Imperial Stout, Two Brothers Brewing (IL)

Written By: Dion on 02/08/2014

Roasted coffee bean and bitter dark chocolate on the nose. Flavors are slightly more varied as the chocolate becomes sweeter and creamier, while a low level hop bitterness and a woody smoke hit mid-palate. Finishes sticky, with the alcohol reasonably well-hidden. Not the most complex Russian Imperial Stout I've had, but respectable nonetheless.
