Well, it's getting close to fall time... the weather is cooling, football is in full swing, and stronger beers are being released. With football well underway, it's safe to say alcohol consumption is up; and with the way Ohio teams have been playing (Buckeyes, Browns, and Bengals), I say the stronger the better!Pushing the charts at close to 10% is Siberian Night, an Imperial Stout from The Thirsty Dog Brewing Company. And what an Imperial Stout it is. The beer pours jet black with a thin, brown head that fades away quickly. The aroma is very roasty with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and alcohol. The mouth feel of this beer is massive. The flavor is very malty, sweet, and layered with chocolate, coffee, black licorice, and a slight burnt flavor. The finish is very mildly bitter.
There's not much to not love about this beer. It's strong, the taste is incredible, and Thirsty Dog is out of Akron, so it's a hometown brew. Much applause to Thirsty Dog for this delicious beer!
