Notes: Overall Impression: An intensely flavored, solid, dark stout with many interpretations. Roasty-burnt malt with a depth of dark or dried fruit flavors and a warming, bittersweet finish. Despite the intense flavors, the components must meld together to create a complex, harmonious beer, not a hot mess – sometimes only accomplished with age.
Aroma: Rich, deep, complex, and often intense, with a pleasant blend of roast, fruit, hops, and alcohol. Light to moderately strong roast can have a coffee, bittersweet or dark chocolate, cocoa, black licorice, tar, or slightly burnt grain quality, sometimes with a light caramel sweetness or toasty maltiness. Low to moderately strong esters are often perceived as dark or dried fruits like plums, prunes, figs, black currants, or raisins. Very low to aggressive hops, usually English or American in character. Alcohol flavor is optional but should not be sharp, hot, or solvable. The balance between these four main components can vary greatly; not all need to be noticeable, but those present should have a smooth interplay. Age can add another dimension, including a vinous or port-like impression, but not sourness. Age can decrease aroma intensity.
Appearance: The color ranges from very dark reddish-brown to jet black. It is opaque. The head is deep tan to dark brown. Generally, it has a well-formed head, although head retention may be low to moderate. High alcohol and viscosity may be visible as legs.
Flavor: Like the aroma, a complex mix of roast, fruit, hops, and alcohol (same descriptors apply). The flavors can be intense, often more significant than the aroma, but the same warning about the balance varying wildly still applies. Medium to aggressively high bitterness. The maltiness balances and supports the other flavors and may have the qualities of bread, toast, or caramel. The palate and finish can be dry to moderately sweet, an impression that often changes with age. It should not be syrupy or cloying—aftertaste of roast, bitterness, and warmth. The exact age effects as in the aroma apply.
Mouthfeel: It should be full to very full-bodied, chewy, velvety, and luscious. The body and texture may decline with age. Gentle, smooth warmth should be present and noticeable as a background character. Low to moderate carbonation.
Comments: Sometimes known as Russian Imperial Stout or RIS. Varying interpretations exist, with American versions having more significant bitterness, more roasted characters, and late hops. At the same time, English varieties often reflect a more complex specialty malt character with a more forward-ester profile. Not all Imperial Stouts have a clearly ‘English’ or ‘American’ character; anything in between is also allowable, so it is counter-productive to define strict sub-types. Judges must be aware of the broad range of the style and not try to judge all examples as clones of a specific commercial beer.
History: A style with a long, although not necessarily continuous, heritage. Traces are the roots of strong English porters brewed for export in the 1700s and are said to have been popular with the Russian Imperial Court. After the Napoleonic wars interrupted trade, these beers were increasingly sold in England. The style eventually all but died out until being popularly embraced in the modern craft beer era in England as a revival export and in the United States as an adaptation by extending the style with American characteristics.
Characteristic Ingredients: Pale malt with significant roasted malts or grain. Flaked adjuncts are common. American or English ale yeast and hops are typical. Ages very well. It is increasingly used as the base beer for many specialty styles.
Style Comparison: Darker and more roasty than Barleywines but with similar alcohol. It is more complex, with a broader range of possible flavors, than lower-gravity stouts.

Notes: After the boil is complete, perform a 5-minute whirlpool and then rapidly chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, which is 47 °F (8.5 °C) for this beer. Pitch yeast.
Maintain fermentation temperature of 47 °F (8.5 °C) for 3.5 weeks or until the completion of primary fermentation, whichever is later. Then, reduce temperature to 38 °F (3.5 °C) gradually by dropping the temperature one degree every 2 days and rest there for 1 week. Perform a similar drop in temperature until you reach 32 °F (0 °C) and lager for 3-4 weeks. Bottle or keg the beer and carbonate to approximately 2.5 volumes.
Tips for Success:
Aim for a massive 2-L starter (OG = 1.035) to provide enough healthy cells for a strong fermentation; Bierstadt recommends 210 million cells per mL. This will allow you to go cold and slow. They’ve also noticed that when fermenting as cold as they do, the precursors for diacetyl aren’t formed, which allows them to eliminate that step. If you do detect diacetyl in your beer, feel free to perform a D-rest. If you have the ability to capture carbon dioxide in solution via a spunding valve, you can come one step closer to fully replicating their beer. Typically, you can rack off the trub after 2 weeks in primary or when there’s roughly 1 degree Plato remaining of fermentation in order to naturally carbonate. Finally, everything about this beer is centered around patience. Don’t rush the mash protocol and especially don’t rush the fermentation.
Thanks to Bill Eye and Ashleigh Carter, co-founders of Bierstadt Lagerhaus,, for this recipe! |

Notes: This is an American cream ale based off of the "creamy goodness" recipe from beersmith.com. it has been modified by adjusting the base malt to 8 pounds. As well as adding a pound of lactose and
with a pound of flaked oats for a heavier mouthfeel and a sweeter finish.
1 oz vanilla beans were chopped and decocted in 8oz of 100 proof vodka for two weeks (shaking the shit out of it daily) to create a natural extract. The vanilla extract was added upon transfer to the secondary fermenter. |
