Valkyrie

Description

The aroma is an intense symphony of roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, and earthy hops, mingled with hints of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of smoke. Upon tasting, the stout unleashes a full-bodied assault on the palate. Intense flavors of roasted malt, bitter chocolate, and coffee dominate, balanced by subtle notes of caramel, molasses, and a hint of vanilla. The high alcohol content of 8.9% ABV adds a warming sensation without overpowering the intricate flavors. The Valkyrie has a rich, creamy mouthfeel that coats the palate like a luxurious ganache, leaving a lingering finish that lingers on the tongue long after the sip. This decadent and complex imperial stout showcases the craftsmanship of Volstead Brewing Company, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a robust and satisfying beer experience. Suggested pairings include desserts such as chocolate cake, crème brûlée, or a rich cheese board to enhance the sweet and savory notes of the Valkyrie. It also complements grilled meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses.
