The last year and a half has kept me mostly away from the places i love to go, but on occasion, i'll get masked up, grab a seat outside somewhere, and enjoy a kind of imitation of the old times. Last week, i made it out to a local bottle shop and popped a tasty brew to close out the evening to. From Chicago's
Moody Tongue, a restaurant and brewer of provocative beverages, i downed their Bourbon Barrel Aged 12 Layer Cake Imperial Stout, probably the best decision i made that day. The 13.9% brew pours a dark black with a minimal tan head and smells of chocolate, bourbon, and oak. The flavor is heavy on said chocolate, bourbon, and oak, along with some notes of graham cracker and caramel, a veritable desert in a bottle. A fantastic brew, and a new brewer, for me at least, to try and get to know better.
Visit the brewer.
