R.I.S.H.I. – Russian Imperial Stout

Part of our staff beer series where each team member gets a chance to choose a beer style and spend a day creating it themselves on the brewhouse!  This one is Rishi’s turn!  He brewed a Russian Imperial Stout with Harmony and Ian.  The recipe is a throwback to early 2000’s Imperial Stouts when roast and hop bitterness were prized traits that mingled beautifully on a high ABV malt base and are less sweet than the flavored imperial stouts of today.  Brewed with a good dose of roasted barley and features a notable hop aroma and firm bitterness from Cascade, Nugget and Simcoe hops.
