Venn Brewing Batch 64 Imperial Stout. 10 % ABV. 80 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Solid blackness, slim brown ring above.
In the nose: Bittersweet. Intense cocoa. Vibrant espresso. Deep roasted dark malts. Notes of pepper and anise.
In the mouth: All that above and more. Rich chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, and more. Full bodied, full flavored, absolutely balanced and a treat to drink down. Alcohol warmth is coming through.
Highly satisfying, largely luxuriant, and flat out tasty.
Yet another testament to the highly capable hands at work at this brewery.
Chocolate, coffee, roast. A huge Imperial Stout aged in stainless for 6 months.
Malts: Maris Otter, Light Crystal, Flaked Oats, Chocolate, Roasted Barley, Extra Dark Crystal, Amber Candi Syrup
Hops: Warrior, Northern Brewer, Willamette (United States)
Yeast: American Ale, British Ale
