Two Brothers Northwind Imperial Stout

Brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Warrenville, Illinois USA

Pour is black as midnight with a small tan head. Aroma is malty. Flavor is roasted malts with some chocolate in there. I agree with some of the raters here that the flavor is overall weak for the style. Rather average brew.

Dark brown/black, with a tan head. Aromas of dark fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. Body is rather light for this style. Thanks to Dough77 for is one.

This draft brew poured a very large sized invigorated head of finely sized long lasting bubbles that left behind an opaque black colored body with no visible carbonation. The aroma was malty and the mouth feel was incl bubbly initially with a tingly smooth finish that contained notes of dark malts and mild coffee.

Dark brown, not quite black, with a decent but short-lived caramel head. Low aroma, no hops in it, just slight burnt sugar smell. The body feels thin, not quite imperial thickness. Good sweet maltness, with quick,sharp bitterness giving a tinny effect. The aftertaste is most definitely coffee with a caramel flavor lingering on the tongue. Pretty good, but these guys need to step it up in order to get recognized. It seems like they’re skimping on ingredients. Pump it up with malt & maybe it would fly, but as is.....kinda so-so.

Like a can of black olives in color, consistency and aroma. I’m not kidding, the brown hazy color of this dishwater instantly made me question whether it had gone bad. The flavor is hoppy and sour with little body or dignity. There is a roasted malt and a hop quality, else it remains as flacid and lifeless as Bob Dole’s weiner (sans viagra). No head, punishing palate and poor presentation. Pretty weak. I expected something a little classier from Two Brothers.

Pours a jet black bubbly "alive" head of off white coloration. Aroma is sweet creamy roasted malt, choclate, and coffee. Flavor is Roasted and dark, choclolate and creamy malts, very drinkable.

Pours black with a large frothy brown head. The aroma has chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Fairly sweet for an imp, this has plenty of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, and anise in it. Nice dry, coffee finish.
