Just Arrived: Karl Strauss 22nd Anniversary Imperial Stout
Mmmm… wax dipped…This one landed on the front steps right as we sat down to dinner and if I didn’t have this freelance design work to take care of tonight, there would have been bits of wax stuck between my teeth as I did whatever was necessary to open this bottle.
Karl Strauss’ 22nd Anniversary beer is a blend of imperial stouts. The first 25% was aged for three months in American oak bourbon barrels with the addition of Madagascar vanilla beans thrown in. The other 75% is fresh Russian Imperial Stout. Man, if that doesn’t sound good, I don’t know what does. I can’t wait to get into this bottle over the weekend!
