Imperial Stout

Imperial Stout Wine Details
Price:

Description: As with our Imperial I.P.A., we began with Augusta's Hyde Park Stout and brewed it as if you, our guests, were the Romanov Royal family. Bitterness, malt-roastiness & warmth best describes this beer.

Varietal Definition
Imperial Stout:
Imperial Stout is an extra strong version of stout which was originally brewed by the British to withstand the rigors of export to Russia and the Baltic states. This style is dense, opaque black and strong in alcohol (6-7%), with a note of sweetness. Burnt cocoa and dried fruit flavors are typical.
