River Styx Brewing ‘Eros’ Imperial Stout

BuffaloJern Leave a comment

Eros Imperial Stout: 7.5 – Oooo that is very chocolatey and decadent. We railed against their sour patch experiment two weeks back, but as far as getting a beer to an almost Oreo like flavor – well done, well done indeed. For the record it’s not an exact Oreo flavor, but really has that feeling of a great imperial stout beer that is combined with a chocolate style not mired in coffee like many chocolatey beers. The result is delicious, unique, and a reminder that nearly everything River Styx does is fantastic.

Price Average: $22 for 4-pack tall cans

3 Floyd’s Arctic Panzer Wolf Imperial IPA

Arctic Panzer Wolf: 2.5 – This site is still new to IPAs (because they by and large suck), but we’d found enough that were okay to warrant it. This is not one of those – it’s basically what you would expect from an imperial IPA. A 9% stupidly hopped beer that’s shouting it’s hopness at you like – well like some sort of dangerous wolf beast

Price Average: $16 for 4-pack tall cans

Prairie Artisan Ales ‘Bomb’ Imperial Stout

BuffaloJern 1 Comment

‘Bomb’ Imperial Stout: 4.0 – The word Bomb here isn’t just a sign on a shelf meant to catch the eye. This tastes like a bomb going off in your mouth. There’s coffee, chocolate, vanilla, some spice, and overal roasted flavors going everywhere. It is quite simply – too much. Every sip is just ‘WHOA’ again and again to the point where you don’t even enjoy it. Oh sure it’s an ‘experience’ but not what you want ordering a beer, although we guess if you ordered a bomb – you got it.

Price Average: $8

Ommegang Game of Thrones – King in the North Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

BuffaloJern Leave a comment

King in the North: 6.0 – The barrel aging here adds some sweetness but does not override everything. At least it’s not ruined, but add that to the chocolate and this is a dessert in the glass. Overall could be better, but it is a solid beer as usual from Ommegang and this line of beers.

Price Average: $25 for 4-pack with glass
