Recipe by Jon Griffin
A homebrew clone of North Coast Brewing Company. This big Russian Imperial Stout will warm your winter nights. This beer also ages extremely well, I would save it for several years at least, but I know you can’t wait!
Notes:
Make sure you follow the extract instruction sheet or you will not get the hop bitterness you need.
Food Pairing:
Desert, this beer has great chocolate and coffee notes.
