Our Tastes-- BlackFlag Imperial Stout

The story goes on and on, with BlackFlag Imperial Stout (American Style). Made by Beer Valley Brewing Company and available year round!! This Imppy poured the equivalent of a black hole, meaning that if light passed into it that it would dissipate and gravity is unknown. The head is a wonderful heavy brown. Only alcohol is present in the nose. The taste after several HG (high gravity) beers knocks you down and kicks you in the cods like Scottish football. The balance of 100+IBUs balances the malt so well it's hard to ascertain anything other than the pure body fuel of ethanol. 8 different malts and Warrior, Chinook, Columbus and Cascade fill this "booty-chaser". I remember this as the day that I almost caught, wait for it.......Capt. Jack Sparrow.
