Just arrived at Hillside Liquor Store is a new single beer, the BrewDog RipTide Twisted Merciless Stout, from Scotland. 8% alcohol, 330ml, $4.25.
"A strong, silky smooth imperial stout with a deep, dark ruby appearance. Mocha, bitter chocolate, liquorice and dark cherry flavours prevail, before the balanced, warming and encapsulating finish.
A contemporary Scottish take on an age old Russian classic style originally brewed for the Tsars. Our interpretation brings together hops from both sides of the Atlantic, amazing flavoured malts and dark sugars."

Drinking Riptide Stout straight from Hillside's fridge does not allow all the complex flavours to shine through, so let it warm up to the point that it is only slightly cool. Warming it up allows the savoury-bacon like note to balance out the dark chocolate, coffee and liquorice flavours.
Enjoy!
