Episode 150 – End of The Hops Challenge
Posted By John on July 24th, 2009
To reward our diligent test subjects we brought in Boulevard Brewing Co.’s Imperial Stout. Seemed appropriate to have a malty beer to finish the hops challenge.
The six week hops challenge came to an end. Our results were split. Marissa went from disliking hops to finding good flavors in hoppy beers. Brian M remained the same throughout the test. He understands why people use hops, but it is not a flavor he enjoys.

ABV%: 11%
Reviewed: 8-Jul-09 on Episode 150
Appearance: Black with a dark tan head
Aroma: It has a sweet roasted malt and coffee aroma.

Mouthfeel: The medium heavy body is complimented by medium carbonation and a dry finish.
Aftertaste: The lingering flavors of coffee stay with you.
Overall: Nice imperial stout with a unique hop profile.

Posted By John on June 5th, 2009
Beer: Schell’s Stout
Brewery: August Schell’s Brewing Co. in New Ulm, Minnesota
Reviewed: 4-Jun-09 on Episode 143
Appearance: Deep brown with a tan head.
Aroma: Coffee and bitter sweet chocolate.
Taste: The bitter sweet chocolate comes through with the coffee playing in the undertones.
Mouthfeel: Medium light body.
Aftertaste: Roasted sweet finish.
Overall: The coffee and bitter sweet chocolate flavors define this beer.
Notes: A good stout, nothing great and nothing bad. We thought it would make a nice desert beer with chocolate cake.
