903 Brewers May the Stout Be With You Episode II Almond and Buttercream Flavored Stout

 903 Brewers May the Stout Be With You Episode II Almond and Buttercream Flavored Stout.

11.5% ABV, 903 Brewers, Texas. 

Deep ebony appearance, fully opaque, small brownish head. 

On the nose: sweet, creamy, dark, deep,, malty, nutty. Ever so pastry-like. Very inviting. 

In the mouth: full. Rich. Thick. Sweet and chocolatey. Decadent, dessert-like. Too much frosting. Or, maybe you like that? 

I don’t normally drink beers like this. Too sweet. But it’s Star Wars themed and was a mere $5 per the single can. I bought before 5/4 and was going to review on that day, but didn’t, and now time has marched on. Remember mere weeks ago, when we celebrated all things Star Wars? Gonk droids and Wuher (look him up!), Jedi masters and Wookiees, Jawas and Imperial bulk Star cruisers. 

And beers like this, which need more hop bitterness and much less from sweet adjuncts. Buttercream? No thanks. Frosting? What? No…

Okay, if we use beers like this to pay tribute to Star Wars, I want to see Jaxxon, the tall green rabbit from Marvel Comics issues #7-10 to be canon and no one gets to complain.

And, if you really want to taste frosting in a beer, here it is, everybody, enjoy!

In a galaxy of amazing brews, our latest imperial stout stands out with sumptuous buttercream frosting and almond flavors.  Delve into its inky abyss to unravel a decadent cosmos of dark chocolate, nutty almond, buttercream frosting and roasted malt flavors.  The aroma entices with a rich blend of vanilla and almond, echoing the whispers of distant planets that beckon adventure.  With a body this thick and chewy, this imperial stout resists the dull side and will be your chosen one.
