Aloha BrewTube:
In this episode of DJs BrewTube, I review another famous Russian Imperial Stout, Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout. Three things that I really like are beer, coffee and chocolate. Because of my propensity toward these flavor, stouts are one of the styles that I gravitate toward pretty much year-round. It is important to not that the flavors in Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout are derived from literally hundreds of pounds of Ryan Brothers Coffee espresso beans per batch and the back bone Stone Imperial Russian Stout base recipe. Lets see what flavors this well know classic beer with a twist delivers. Enjoy the show!
Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout WRITTEN REVIEW:
A: Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout pours fully opaque pitch black with an off-white 1.5 - 2 finger dense creamy head that has plenty of staying power. Plenty of alcohol and glass lacing.
S: In your face with rich dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, coffee fruitiness, vanilla and a slight nuttiness. No alcohol was detected in the aroma.
T: Follows the nose with rich dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, coffee fruitiness, vanilla and a slight nuttiness. The 11% ABV is very well hidden in this beer.
M: Medium full, easy to drink with spot on carbonation. Goes down almost too smooth.
O: Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout (2013) is a very well brewed and flavorful version of a coffee flavored Russian Imperial Stout. Stone did a great job with this one. This said, because coffee flavor in beer fades over time this is one that should be consumed reasonable fresh to get the full coffee effect ast the brewer intends. I actually enjoy this more than fresh regular Stone IRS. In a nutshell, this is a beer that I recommend, will drink and purchase again and again.
