MugiWhoa, even the name sounds strong! So barrel-aged means it was matured in a barrel, right?
Hop BroExactly. This one carries whiskey-barrel aromas, with layers of vanilla, chocolate, and nutty notes, making it a rich stout.
MugiWow, I'm already full just from the description! But what makes an imperial stout different from a regular stout?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it tends to have a higher ABV, a fuller body, and a stronger roasted character. So it's the kind of slow-sipping beer you take your time with.
MugiI get it, it's like a winter blanket in beer form! And Two Fingers' full 10 taps are way too luxurious, aren't they?
Hop BroEven just the house originals include Helles' Highway to Helles, the APA Garage, Hop Gasoline with Tokyo Aleworks, and Witchaz Smoothie with NAMACHA n, so the range is amazing.
MugiOh, there are collaborations too? Then it seems like the right move is to start light and finish with a hefty stout!
Hop BroThat's a pretty solid plan. The guests also include Root + Branch, Oni Densetsu, and Fiden's, so with IPA, HAZY, and sour styles mixed in, Two Fingers makes it easy to build a drinking order.
MugiBeing able to choose that much in Ikebukuro is the best! I was only planning to have a light drink today, but I'm totally about to fall into a beer tasting rabbit hole.
Hop BroThen the ending is set. Let's start with a crisp pint and spend the night slowly savoring Nemesis Nectar.
MugiAgreed! Let's make tonight in Nishi-Ikebukuro a night to drink slowly!
