Maybe it’s my new lease on life, or that I can’t drink as much beer as I once did, but the stouts I’ve been enjoying this winter just seem to taste better than in past years. The fullness of the beer holds a bit longer, the malts and the barley’s just seem roastier. Each just feels more luxurious, smoother, creamier and velvetier than before. Bottom line, stouts have just been good to me this winter.
And, now it’s time to celebrate some of the best stouts to come out of St. Louis. Few do them as well as Cory King and Side Project Brewing, which are known beer-world-wide for its deliciously rich imperial stouts including the immensely popular Derivation and Beer: Barrel: Time.
