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.

It's a dark beer kind of day in Bahston. Not overbearing with any particular flavor, but just elegant, like Dove chocolate.

Real good, did not expect the grape/wine bit to compliment but it did for sure

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

Rich, creamy, and smooth from the oak aging. Hints of chocolate and a touch of sweetness on the finish. At 10% I think Ray B. is trying to get me drunk!

Really silly-easy drinking, a champagne like fizz on the nose. Not a ton of character in flavor mostly focused on texture. They could have left this in oak longer but the ABV would probably knock you over.

Oct 2017, drank Feb 2020. Stored cool room temp. Significantly soured. Eventually poured. I wasn't a big fan when fresh but it was unique.

Interesting, too much working against each other. Oaky, sweet, boozy, fruity, smokey. Enough said.

It is definitely a stout but is very thin. Coffee, and a little bit of chocolate.

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

From 1/10. Feel like I enjoyed this much more previously. Seemed rather harsh this time around. The stout up front & the grape on the end didn't seem to flow or complement each other.

Crisp and smooth. Deep, sweet roastiness. Coffee and dark chocolate flavors with the faintest notes of grape. Excellent brew to close out 2020.

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.

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.
