Giant Slayer Review

Russian Imperial Stout
Tri-City Brewing Company
Bay City, Michigan, USA


9% abv
66 IBU’s
12 oz bottle

Appearance: pitch black body with a thin dark tan head; the syrupy looking legs drip some lacing with each sip


Aroma: fresh dark roasted coffee with a touch of dark chocolate

Flavors: big creamy dark chocolate swirls around a dark roasted coffee bean; nice hop bittering

Mouthfeel: creamy; dark roasted notes; no carbonation; nice bittering but not to strong keeping it drinkable; some alcohol warmth and light spice; seems light in body for an Imperial Stout; it’s still a sipper;


To the Point: an easy drinking Imperial Stout; watch out for the alcohol content; if you like chocolate and coffee this is a must drink for you; for an Imperial Stout – I’ll say it is okay to good; personally I really like it;
