Throughout the sampling of my 40 birthday beers, I am also interleaving some of my normal stock. And, as always, my normal stock contains either something new, or something I haven’t had in a long while.
Victory’s Storm King Imperial Stout was a beer I bought myself to share at my 40th party and we never dipped into it. It is one that I haven’t had in a long time. When I finally got around to having one the other day after recently sampling several great stouts over the past month, I was taken back by how good great this beer is.
Storm King is a stout that can hold up a thick, rich, malt with a bounty of hops. Hop nose and bitterness surrounds this stout seemingly to border on a style of porter I’ve been in search of for so long.
Sometimes I wonder why I keep tying new beers when I’ve already found something I love. But, tastes change and repetition can get boring. In the meantime, Storm King is my “go to” stout, and I’m giving it 4.5+ on the unofficial Hop-Talk scale.
Sorry Guinness, today America takes back the title.
