Les Trois Mousquetaires

Imperial Stout·Canada·11.5% ABV·One of 341 Imperial Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Stout Impériale's roasted and chocolate character. A black ale of considerable weight, on pale, Munich, oat, Cara 160 and Carafa malt with Quebec-grown Nugget, Chinook and Cascade. Roast leads throughout: dark chocolate, espresso grounds and a scorched-grain edge, with a resinous hop note cutting across them. The oats give a thick, coating body that the strength carries as warmth. At 85 IBU the bitterness is sustained and the finish stays dry.
