Last bottle of this, last checked in Oct 2018 so this one’s 8 years old and honestly better than I remember. I suppose some things do get better with age!

Imperial Cocount Stout by Rios Brewing Co

26.088 highest rated of the bunch and I can see why. Finally a good stout with recognizable additions. The coconut is more Mounds bar than anything though.

Imperial Almond Stout by Rios Brewing Co

26.087 added almond what, exactly? Deez nuts aren’t very present. Slightly better than the base imperial due to thicker texture but just not finding real almond flavor here.

Rios Brews Rios Stout by Rios Brewing Co

26.086 can’t find an unadulterated imperial stout so using this instead. Says 9%ABV on the board. Tastes and feels more like what I expect a stout to be, but it’s still just an amped up version of the last glass of sadness. The head does hang around…

Stout by Rios Brewing Co

26.085 their basic stout, 5%, looks right, pours a decent head, but is a bit thin and acidic. I got all 4 of their stouts on tap here so hopefully it gets better as we go.
