Imperial Stout
Full Sail Brewing kicks off February with the release of Black Gold, an imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels. Black Gold is part Full Sail’s Brewmaster Reserve Series.
The first of the bottles have been released at the Full Sail Tasting Room in Hood River, Oregon, with more bottles being distributed around the state. If this beer is as good as it sounds, it might not get far out of Oregon.
Commercial Description:
A hearty brew that is black as night with a strong roasted malt character and a full body. After its initial release in January 2010, our Imperial Stout was aged for a full year in Bourbon casks from Kentucky.
Cigar City Brewing (Tampa, FL) is going to have a big 2011, new beers, and new states to ship to. A notable date this year – the seasonal release of Hunaphu. The seasonal return of this big beer is slated for March 12, 2011.
Hunaphu is an imperial stout brewed with Peruvian Cacao Nibs, Ancho and Pasilla Chiles, Madagascar vanilla beans, & a bit of cinnamon. It’s boozy, thick & viscous, bold and full of flavor. This year marks a whole day of celebration surrounding Hunaphu’s release. Here’s what CC has to say:
