This style separates the men from the boys and puts some hair on your chest...especially my homebrewed version where I add an ounce of pure anabolic steroids per gallon!

Seriously though, this is as flavorful and intense as beer gets. Roasty with chocolate, coffee, and other crazy flavors, screw Budweiser - imperial stouts are the real "king of beers." Be careful though, this type of beer will put pounds on you in a hurry.
