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.

Seemed like a good idea for a darker heavier beer for the ending CO ski season

Breaking into the vault today. This is from July ‘18. The cherry notes on the finish have gotten more tart but that smoothness is still there and even more than I remember.

This has an earthy quality. I would say umami.

Thick velvety mouth feel, taste of coffee stout meets a jammy wine lots of oak on the finish. It has layers upon layers. This is not the perfect beer. But it may be the perfect stout. It can be stupid expensive when you find it, but give it a try.

1st had from my 4 pack in 2017. Let this warm! 7 yrs later & still a good brew w/ the Syrah wine grape dominating a bit over the RIS (55/45). Still an unique taste when fresh. Aging nicely but will drink my last (must of shared one 😁) sooner than later.

Dark coffee yet sweet and so refreshing on the palate. Dogfish Head you did it again.

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

2017 release apparently. Been cellaring for a while. Delightfully smooth, subtle vanilla and other oak notes, a little whiff of smoke that I don't remember being there before but it works with the dark jammy fruits. Lovely business
