SOUTHERN TIER IMPERIAL CREME BRULEE STOUT

Unrivalled lactose stout (brewed with vanilla beans) retains intimate creme brulee warmth, replicating a Sugar Daddy candy bar at its opulent butterscotch finish. Syrupy dark caramel malting bulks up liqueur-like Sambuca, Kahlua, bourbon and Bailey’s Irish Cream sweetness as well as tertiary cappuccino, rum raisin, Black Forest cake, bananas foster, and French vanilla ice cream illusions. Maple-sapped chocolate pecan, white chocolate, and cocoa creaminess reinforces cumulative mocha theme. A relaxing nightcap with mind-bending 10% alcohol amplification. On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, luscious creme brulee creaming thickened while caramel-burnt toffee follow-up and bourbon whiskey spell get heightened.

GREAT DIVIDE OAK AGED YETI IMPERIAL STOUT

Terrifically robust mahogany dry stout opens with dark-roasted black chocolate insistence firmly underscored by oak-singed black molasses, roasted coffee, espresso, dried cocoa, ashen walnut, pecan and hazelnut. Cedar-burnt hop bittering heightens residual sour raspberry, vinous white grape, pureed black cherry and emerging bourbon theme thickening to coarse tar-like tobacco chew finish. Creamy vanilla fudge reminder scours earthy bottom.

STONE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN STOUT

Fabulous opaque jet black ’05 release goes down velvety smooth despite heady 10.8% alcohol guise as creamy black chocolate overlay absorbs dried espresso-coffee roasting and coarsening charcoal backdrop. Chewy molasses-caramel-toffee midst increases above silken anise spicing, black currant bittering, nutty raisin swipe, and bread crusted base. Sherry-port notes subsume grape and cherry esters to fig-induced mocha finish.
