Sand Creek Imperial Stout

Brewed by Sand Creek Brewing Co. (Pioneer/Wisconsin Brewing Co.)
Style: Imperial Stout
Black River Falls, Wisconsin USA

First beer of the night at MrFacto’s ’Tosa tasting, brought by JPDIPSO. This really hit the spot after a long drive. Deep chocolatey brown body, thin/medium cream head. Rich chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Nice sweet chocolate flavor with dark fruit, caramel, and roast; not especially heavy but still rich, finishing with toast and a touch of alcohol. Slightly chalky. It was mentioned that this really doesn’t fit the Imperial Stout bill- I tend to agree; this almost seemed like a high ABV porter. I’d happily drink this again, however.

Pours a dark, dark brown, small tan head. Aroma of licroice and coffee. Flavor is very malty, with coffee, roasted malt, and acidic lemony grass! Thanks to JPDipso for sharing this!

Very dark brown body. Lots of brown sugar in the aroma along with green stemmy sweetness. Dark choclate, acidic malt, and leafy hops in the flavor. A mild impy stout, weak mouthfeel and simple flavors.
