Smothered In Hugs

Stout - Russian Imperial

Rich with flavors of black forest cake, espresso and decadent fudge, this deeply dark Russian Imperial stout was brewed with cocoa nibs and raspberries, and aged on heaps of Madagascar vanilla beans. The beer's tart berries and vanilla smoothness elevate it to almost dessert-like levels. How can we best describe it? - Its a glass of comforting deliciousness!

For RIS it's smooth but chocolate and tartness covers up other flavors. Not that impressed.

Leftovers from yesterday’s ‘Vintage & Vinyl’ night at DFH. Vintage 2018. Brewed with cocoa nibs & raspberries, and aged on Madagascar Vanilla beans. Aromas & flavors of Black Forest Cake, Expresso & rich, thick fudge…Sinfully decadent!

I loved this one! You can taste all of the ingredients but none of them are overpowering. A great beer!!
