Oh boy. This is a heavy weight. Sipping the 9.5% beast is like stepping on the mat with the Russian bear Aleksander Karelin. And you know how that ends. Yes. Exactly. You on your back, staring at the ceiling. This beastly stout is hopped with Chinook, Columbus and Centennial. The beastly character comes from the maturation on cocoa beans, vanilla beans, Ceylon cinnamon sticks, American oak chips and chipotle (smoked chili). Yes, this bear may look squishy, but he sure has plenty of bites.

Style description: What exactly is a Stout?

The history of stout and how this style came about is not entirely clear. It is suspected that the style originated from the brewing of heavier burghers who were then called "Stout Porters". In England, Stout is first mentioned in the Egerton Manuscript from the year 1677. Stout means strong or powerful in English.

In general, breweries use heavier roasted malts in the stouts with more emphasis on coffee notes.

Different forms have also emerged in the Stout category: Dry Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Russian Imperial Stout, etc.
