Stodgy Brewing Company Griffin's Port Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
What the brewers say
“Aged in a whiskey-finished port barrel.”
What our panel thought
“Decadent aroma of brownies, ruby port, figs, and brandy. Luscious taste profile with layers of burnt sugar, maraschino cherries, vanilla, dried dates, and a touch of cinnamon. Alcohol is big and bold, but not hot or harsh. Full-bodied and sweet, but not quite cloying.”
What our editors thought
“Lighter woody and nutty note in the aroma with just a hint of dark fruit. Vinous in the flavor, lighter body with a shortbread-cookie sweetness and swirling chocolate tones.”
