We took our World Wide Stout and aged it for 7 months in Samuel Adams Utopias barrels. The result is a jet-black, rich and roasty beer with balanced notes of espresso, cocoa, sherry and vanilla that clocks in at 17.3% ABV.
Our decadent double mashed stout is full bodied with a soft, espresso-like texture. Very dark & incredibly creamy due to a lactose addition. Whole cacao nibs delivers a chocolate backbone & cold pressed locally roasted coffee from our neighbors at Cafe Vero adds one more layer of complexity. This is a cold weather favorite of ours.
Mon cheri! You are holding a deliciously rich, abundantly flavored imperial stout that embodies the change of seasons! Layers of dense cocoa flavor enshrine a sweet burst of dark cherries beautifully intertwined with a monumental stout.
Mint and chocolate are a classic pairing, a flavor combination so iconic that it has inspired candy, cookies, ice cream, and now beer. When we aged this mint stout in bourbon barrels, we knew we hit on something special. We also decided to add Cacao to the beer in its pure form. This duality of bright mint with the complexity of dark chocolate and bourbon oak flavors results in a flavorful beer that is both recognizable and irresistibly exciting.
Genesee Imperial Stout is brewed with chocolate, black, caramel and pale malts, along with cacao nibs, giving the beer a slightly bittersweet flavor with a decadent chocolate aroma. Fermented with Genesee's original 144-year-old ale yeast, this beer is bold yet approachable and best savored slowly to experience its full range of flavor.
