It was very difficult to find any information about this beer or brewery other than the fact that it is out of Washington and has a website that is in desperate need of updating.
I chose the Husky Imperial Stout to go with my giant plate of barbecued food because I generally love stouts and also because it had a cool name. The beer arrived with a very thin layer of head that lasted for quite a while and left a good lacing pattern that only faded because I took quite a long time to finish this beer. There are big aromas of creamy coffee and chocolate with some roasted notes.
This beer feels so thick and rich that it's like drinking a beer milkshake. Every single sip was a giant taste explosion. There is a whole lot of flavor going on here, mostly some bitter coffee with a little bit of roasted chocolate. The beer has a very creamy mouthfeel, although the flavors really dominate your tastebuds. There is a light carbonation here, so the beer is fairly easy to drink other than it's giant ABV.
Final thought - This was a very tasty beer, but after a whole day of drinking beers and a plate of 4 kinds of barbecued meat I sadly could not finish it. I know, it's very sad. But don't take my inability to finish as a condemnation of the beer, which was actually very good. Just don't wait until the end of a long day to try it.
