Lov Beer

Beer, I love it and after spending the last couple years following great blogs in the Bay Area I have decided to join the club. I have been passionate about beer for years, worked as an assistant brewer and sales rep for a local brewery. I have had more than my share of glasses and have even traveled to Germany, Ireland, England and of course Belgium to enjoy the local flavors. I hope to discuss new beers coming out, cooking, homebrewing and everything beer. Any feedback is appreciated.

Beer Review: Avery Brewing Czar Imperial Stout

While I was in Colorado I picked up a bottle of Avery Brewing's Imperial Stout at the store. Avery has a series of Imperial's including Maharaja Imperial IPA, Kaiser Imperial Lager and of course the Czar. If you have read my posts you should know I love my IPA's and I really do love my stout's. As soon as you add Imperial to front of those styles, my interest is peaked and the beer is an automatic must have.

Czar pours out pitch black, with a nice off white head.
Aroma: roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, toffee.
Taste: huge dark malt, molasses, and vanilla, finishes a little hot.

Mouthfeel: medium carbonation, has good drinkablity, but is an Imperial so do yourself a favor and share a bottle.

Overall it was a great beer. As I have posted before I love Avery. He is doing some great things with flavors and I really look forward to getting into more of my stash.
