As if I needed an excuse to hit the The Map Room sometime soon. I was just checking their website to see what was on tap.
Anyone ever have this stuff?
WINTERCOAT DOUBLE HOP
WinterCoat's Imperial IPA is light amber in color. The fruitiness from the ale yeast combines beautifully with the body of the malts and the freshness of the hops to create a very well-balanced, though very heavily hopped brew. Double Hop has a heady hop aroma without too much bitterness. The smooth taste belies its 8.2% alcohol content. This beer is dangerously pleasant to drink!

on another note, it looks like they have Surly brews in a few Chicago bars now too. I've heard good things but never had any, so looking forward to it. Their Darkness Russian Imperial Stout is on tap at Map Room as well. Damn... I would've gone to Kuma's on tuesday night had I known.
