Thought I'd start a thread dedicated to your favorite beers, per style. I'll add more perhaps each day or so.
To start things off, Imperial Stouts! Here are mine:
5 - Stone Russian Imperial Stout
Classic taste for a RIS! Thick mouth, black and sticky, great mixture of hops and malt, and just a bit heavy in the alcohol. Coffee and chocolate throughout!
4 - Dogfish Head World Wide Stout
Roasty with a super rich chocolate taste! Fruit notes to go with that chocolate and definite coffee characteristics. As big as the alcohol is, it's super drinkable and doesn't taste too boozy.
3 - Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti
Damn, this beer is good! Awesome tan head that just sticks on top of this black beauty. Roasted barley and sweet chocolate mixed with a dominate oak character in the nose. Very nice carmel taste with a slight alcoholic burn that warms you up. Perfect blend of a great beer with good oak characteristics.
2 - Avery Mephistophele's Stout
Hell yeah! Amazing black delight with a huge tan head. Sweet chocolate and carmel notes with some alcohol notes. Taste is sweet, big, and coffee like. Very warming but not overpowering. Should be sipped, and slowly appreciated.
1 - Cigar City Hunahpu's Imperial Stout
Super thick-like nothing else! Unbelievably black, with no red or orange around the edges, even with the brightest of light. Mocha brown head. Bitter chocolate, burnt roast, vanilla, fruit, and spices! Thick like syrup! This is the best stout I've ever had, and one of the only beers I've ever enjoyed this much.
What are your top 5!?
