2018 Advent Beer Review | |
Date: Dec 23, 2018 | |
Beer: Odd Side Ales - The Nightman Leaveth | |
Style: Imperial Stout | |
Source: Grand Haven, Michigan | |
ABV: 11% | |
"Imperial Rye Milk Stout with Vanilla Beans Aged in Rye Whisky | |
Barrels" | |
The Nightman Leaveth | |
This is from Odd Side Ale's series of "It's Always Sunny In | |
Philadelphia" inspired beers. All things aside, it's a great | |
television sitcom and if you haven't checked it out yet I | |
highly recommend the first few seasons. My cat has the honor | |
of being named after one of the main characters, Charlie Kelly. | |
Back to the beer, the whisky flavor comes out front-and-center. It's | |
so strong that it almost feels like I'm drinking a liquor instead of | |
a beer. The stout is dark, smooth, and creamy. The vanilla adds a | |
rich layer underneath. I'm not the type of guy to drink straight | |
whisky or bourbon, but this beer is so good that it's making me | |
reconsider what I might be missing out on. | |
- Would I buy it again? Yes | |
- How much could I drink in one night? As many as I could get my | |
hands on! |
