Tonight I started drinking W'11 KGB a Russian Imperial Stout from Widmer brothers. I a not usually a Stout drinker, they usually don't quite fit my taste buds especially the most popular stouts. I will say that this stout I will be a return buyer because it is creamy, has a nice bite like a pale ale would and is very bold like you'd expect from a stout. A stouts origin comes from porters an rich coffee tasting beer but a stout would be the richest darker flavored porter that has a long intertwined history. The thing I would believe that makes this so rich and tasty would be that it is an Imperial brewing process. Most beers are roughly 4-6 weeks to process while Imperials are 4-6months but to find out the difference between a standard stout and an imperial stout which originates in Russia is that the imperial is brewed to have a higher alcohol content usually 9% or more to keep from freezing as easy in the colder regions of Russia. All in all this is a great beer and worth trying.
