Time has been short lately and with the prospect of moving, I scrounged in to my cellar and chilled an Imperial IPA that I brewed many moons ago. It was the last of the Yakistan Imperial IPAs. I’m pleased to say that:
- Whoa!
- There’s not much hopiness left, but…
- damn.
- the beer exhibits all the qualities I enjoy in a robust IIPIA – bitter, warm, malty, and, for lack of a better word, robusto.
You have to roll your R’s when you say that though. Really, I’m quite impressed with how it aged. Enough sugar, enough time, and I assume, the perfect cellaring conditions. Thank god we don’t have to move them though.
