House Divided Brewery Bring On the Night Imperial Stout
What the brewers say
“Roasty imperial stout rested on toasted coconut, cocoa nibs, and vanilla bean.”
What our panel thought
“Notes of sherry and coconut lead into a flavor profile dominated by the same. Really nice fudgy barleywine-like aroma. A leathery aged taste of sherry and bourbon with coconut notes. Sharp alcohol edges. A rich sweetness throughout finishes with a bitterness to match. Very drinkable for a big beer.”
What our editors thought
“Strong hops aroma initially with slightly sweaty overtones but a fruity caramel sweet hint. Strong bitterness in the flavor overpowers the nuances of the aroma.”
