Dark Hearts Imperial Milk Stout With Cacao Nibs

Dark, brooding, a little bitter, but with a hint of lingering sweetness somewhere underneath....that is our Dark Hearts Imperial Milk Stout, this year's submission to the Dark Arts Festival in Astoria. Brewed in collaboration with Grains of Wrath out of Camas Washington. Notes of dark roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate (from the six pounds of cocoa nibs in the mash) pervade. 2 Row, C40, C75, Caramunich, Chocolate Malt, Carafa II and Roasted Barley make up the majority of the grain bill while 50 pounds of lactose creates that creamy milk stout mouthfeel. Columbus and Chinook hops added at just the right time create a bitter balance to all those sweet toasted malts. Big and dark, yet suprisingly drinkable with a nice finish. Enjoy Show Less
