Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout 2013 Odd Year Release

April 26, 2013 |
ABV: 11%
IBU: 65

I adore coffee ice cream and always appreciate new ways to incorporate coffee flavors into food. So when a friend (I shall call him AW) brought over a bottle of the Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout 2013 Odd Year Release as a housewarming gift, I was so excited for many reasons. Beer and coffee together? Why yes, yes I would like that very much.
