India Imperial Stout

As I write, it's in the bottles, conditioning.

Doing its thing.

For my recipe, I took the Imperial Stout recipe found here at the online world of my local brewing supply shop and made a few variations, mainly in the world of hops. I wanted to aggressively hop it like an Imperial India Pale Ale but maintain the roasty, dark, full carameliness of the Stout.
