American Imperial Stout
American Imperial Stout is a more robust, higher alcohol version of the traditional stout style that originated in the craft beer movement of the United States. It features intense roasted malt character with deep chocolate, coffee, and burnt flavors, often complemented by substantial hop bitterness and sometimes American hop varieties for aroma. Typically brewed with abundant dark malts including roasted barley, chocolate malt, and black patent malt, these beers are characterized by their bold, complex flavor profiles and warming alcohol presence.
