Interesting purchase from Craft Cellars:
Windswept Brewing Co. “Bear” Russian Imperial Stout
http://windsweptbrewing.com/bear
Consumed with a roast beef dinner (left overs) with some added pearled barley to bulk up the left over potatoes and carrots.
Initial impression: Thick coffee, with a big kick from the 10.5% alc.
Excellent with my meal, goes really well with red meat starch and carrots. Malt – bitter balance just right.
Post impression: Wow, has an analgesic effect. I am pleasantly numb right now. This would do the trick to pull teeth in large quantities if Novocaine is not available. Will buy again.
