COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Mt. Marcy, Skylight, Algonquin...Majestic Adirondack High Peaks - They are the inspiration for our "High Peaks" series, a line of beers that are bigger, more complex and flavorful; beers that are meant to be sipped and savored. The second in our series, Saranac Imperial Stout, is brewed with eleven malts to balance a delicious chocolate and coffee roasted flavor with the spicy herbal character of the generous kettle and dry hops. At 50 IBU's this beer captures the essence of the Adirondacks. Enjoy!

GABF 2007: Poured opaque black with a tan head. The aroma was light with sweet roasted malt making it up. Roasty flavor with some esters and alcohol. Warming with a medium body.

ucusty (2692) - raleigh, North Carolina, USA - OCT 23, 2007

I will start this by saying maybe I got a bad bottle...Pours pitch black with tan fluffy head wonderful spotty lacing. The appearence is all this beer has going for it. No coffee flavor slight chocolate finish in this very bland attemp at a I.S. Malty flavor is just not balaced very well

sloth (2253) - Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA - OCT 21, 2007

Pours a solid middlin sized tan head, retention is fair with a decent coating lace. A pitch black brew with some brown edging. Nose is faint roast and chocolate. Body is medium, carbonation is a bit much for an Impy. lightly oily. Light roasty flavors, some black notes, light berry notes a hint of bitter sweet chocolate and cocoa. Fairly dry finish thats lasting and not unobjectionable at all. Pretty solid for Matt.

scraff (2121) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - OCT 16, 2007

12 oz - Dense black, tan creamy head. Roasted milk chocolate and mild coffee and cream nose lays on soft wafts of dark currants and spicy herbal-like notes. Dry cocoa flavors and hints of roasted coffee balance on lighter piney herbal and earthy tones. Medium bodied, light carbonation, bittersweet finish. Not a bad first shot at the style...
