Siracusa Nera

Stout - Russian Imperial

Combining a roasty Imperial Stout with jammy Syrah wine notes, this beer is bold and complex. Notes of coffee, dark chocolate and anise from a blend of roasted malts meld with flavors of plums, cherries and stewed fruits from Syrah grape must in this jet black stout. Aged on American oak to add some light toasty vanilla to the mix.

Me la tomé después de la Qoris, y qué sabor tiene! Mezcla de café con un toque dulzón por las uvas y el estar macerado en roble.

Interesting grape. 10 abv is smoothed as flat as the midwest.

A tad thin for an RIS. Roasty with a faint hint of grape.

Not a fan of the grape note. But a strong stout is hard to deny.

A delicious aroma, and well-balanced, with the oak coming through really nicely at the end, but it really lacks the depth and complexity you’d expect from a beer like this, especially in the thin aftertaste. Some cool flavors but nothing mind blowing

#1300! 2018 aged. Roasty. Masked abv. Heavy coffee flavor. A pretty unique body that’s smooth and lingering on the pallet.

I went out in single digit weather this morning to get a Covid test, so I deserve an imperial stout at 3pm.

That aroma is funky with the grapes added to coffee and oak. I like it. Super thick. It plays like a regular Russian stout but the grapes add a layer of sour complexity. A bit smoky in the middle and warming. Finish is boozy. Pair with filet mignon

3 years cellared. Somehow didn't have this one checked in the last few years. Sweet and a little syrupy with heavy grape/wine notes. Not as good as it was fresher.

Tastes of coffee and chocolate with dark fruits and a bit of oakiness.

Chocolate wine. Pretty good. No detectable oak notes (woot!) and nice little pop of flavor up front. Stone fruit and chocolate

Dark and boozy, with a nice hint of raisins. Enjoyable beer.
