I love me some stouts, especially the strong ones, regardless of the time of day or the season or the weather or whatever. I keep branching out to try new kinds of beers, but i always come back stouts...the lifeblood. Lakewood Brewing out of Garland, Texas (greater Dallas area) has a strong and tasty offering that i tried for the first time over the weekend, their full-bodied and delicious imperial milk stout, The Temptress. The beer pours dark, dark black with brown head and smells of malt, chocolate, vanilla, and some alcohol notes. The flavor is a mix of the aromas, the malt, chocolate, and vanilla pairing with each other perfectly, the sugars making their presence known, and the 9.1% ABV giving you that warm feeling in your chest. I want to drink this while eating good cheese. All in all, I really enjoyed this brew and will have to grab some more, though i also have a version brewed with raspberries waiting for me in my fridge too. More on that delight at a later date.
Visit the brewer.
