Modist Lord Humungus Imperial Rye Stout 2017

Modist Lord Humungus Imperial Rye Stout 2017. 11.8% ABV. Modist Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Utter blackness, slim brown ring atop. Perfectly implacable.

in the nose: Deep and malty. Slightly spicy. Rich and indulgent. Begging for more.

In the mouth: Chocolate. Tobacco. Rye malt. Lightly roasty and toasty. Thick. Takes up a lot of space on the palate. When it sits around the house, it sits around the house. Slightly sweet, rich, and nigh unto ridiculous. Big, big, big. And very tasty. Boom, as I've said before, boom, boom, boom. Very tasty, this. So rich, so malty, so very nice.

One question looms: why the heck didn't I buy a 2018 bottle? Snoozed and losed.



For his 2017 release, Lord Humungus has once again dipped into his precious reserves of rye and forged a humungus and unique imperial beer. Borne from the blood, fire and gasoline of the Wasteland, this year's version is a one-of-a-kind imperial rye stout that's thicker than 40 weight motor oil and darker than a tire fire. Made from over 53% Malted Rye, Chocolate Rye, and Caramel Rye--this beer is dominated by flavors of sweet spice, dark chocolate and brown sugar. 

FOR US, FOR YOU, FOR THE WASTELAND.
