(Hopland, CA) – Mendocino Brewing is set to add an Imperial Stout to its lineup later this year.

Earlier this spring, I wrote about the re-awakening of Mendocino’s portfolio with a group of new Imperial beers and seasonals. The brewery’s work in this area continues with another introduction to its Imperial Series this fall.

Beer description: “Our Imperial Stout is an impressive, ebony black beer with gorgeous ruby hued highlights, Brewed with several kinds of rich caramel and roasted malts, this robust, full-bodied stout is packed with sensuous chocolate and coffee flavors. The complex roastiness of this brew is interwoven with rich toffee, subtle dark fruit and a hint of anise to round off the malt experience. The intense maltiness is balanced with a floral hop flavor and the aroma from Cascade and Golding hops. With an immense original gravity of 23 Plato, this opulent beer finishes at 10% alcohol by volume. Imperial Stout is a lavish blend of sumptuous flavors, it is silky smooth and deceptively strong.”

The brew will be available in 4-packs.
