Notes

First Brewed 11/2012

Vanilla pods and toasted oak chips add a rounded character to this massive Russian Imperial Stout, brewed with a hefty malt bill, cacao nibs and coffee beans. Dark malts combine with Cascade to add a punchy bitterness, strong enough to offset the big chocolate sweetness.
Put coffee beans and cocoa nibs in a cheese cloth and dip in wort like a tea bag. Do multiple small additions for short lengths of time – the longer you leave them in the more heavy oils will be extracted.
