Welcome to the dark side! Last night I enjoyed a Great Lakes Brewery Black Out Stout. This beer is very bold, it has a strong hop flavor, and goes well with red meat. Black Out Stout is a Russian Imperial Stout, Imperial Stouts were originally brewed in the 1800's for the Czar's in Russia. It by nature has a high alcohol by volume content (this one is 9% ABV) - and has very little carbonation. Many will shy away from this beer because of the dark color, but they are missing out on a great complement to a big steak. This beer also goes well with rich chocolate desserts. Overall this is a 3.5 out of 5 "pints"
