Whats Your Favorite Imperial Stout
Imperial Stouts are one of the biggest beers made. They have a huge amount of specialty grains , are usually very high alchohol, and have that distinctive Roasted Barley smell and aftertaste.
My favorite store bought is Sam Smiths. Its just right in the taste department although unusually low (7 percent) in the Ach category for this style.
Roasted barley is a specialty grain that must be used intelligently. Too little and you miss the "Imperial" style. Too much and its like chewing charcoal.
