YouEnjoyMyStout

CBC’s barrel-aged Imperial Stout

Imperial Stout is a variety of British stout brewed considerably richer and stronger than the norm. Originally crafted for export to czarist Russia, Catherine the Great, among others, was a known enthusiast. It is rich, roasty, strong, smooth, and dark, dark, dark. This expression of YouEnjoyMyStout was brewed in March 2008, and has since whiled away the days in a quintet of American bourbon barrels. The complexities added by tannins, oxidation, and oak character complement the malt notes of caramel, bitter chocolate, and espresso-roast, finishing with a long, alcohol-tinged palate.
