Boiler Brewing Company in Lincoln, Nebraska continues to come up with some of the most unique, flavorful beers and this one is no exception. The Monte Grande is a Russian Imperial Stout with chocolate, coffee, and coconut. The triple crown of flavorful elements that sent my taste buds into a frenzy. The chocolate is well pronounced with a variety of Guatemalan cacao nibs. The chocolate hits you up front and then a nice coconut and coffee finish. I was impressed on how much coffee flavor I got out of this. Truly a king of beers. Cheers!

Imagine getting a whiff of graham cracker, chocolate, and marsh mellow. You are thinking from a campfire right? I'm not ... I am talking about the New Holland Brewing S'mores Bourbon Barrel Stout from their reserve series. One thing about a stout and especially about an imperial stout, let this beer warm up. Once it hits about 50 - 55 degrees, all of the aroma and taste really start to happen. I am a big fan of Dragon's Milk and this version doesn't disappoint. I love the graham cracker taste on the front end and the big imperial, boozey finish. Just to warn you this one is very rare to find. A good friend of mine got me one to sample. Happy hunting!
