BEER REVIEW: Storm King Stout by Victory Brewing Company

One of the best ways to warm up during the winter is by ordering a pint of Victory Storm King Stout.  Brewed by the Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, this fine brew was no doubt made to keep you warm during a king-size storm.  This imperial stout comes loaded with the essential ingredients to keep your body warm (or numb): a high alcohol by volume and an easy-to-drink taste.  Most stouts are heavy and you get filled up quickly, Storm King Stout will keep you drinking all through the night.

When you take your first drink, you will smell and taste some coffee and chocolate notes.  What follows will be a pleasant mixture of coffee, chocolate and hops.  Before Storm King Stout, I would limit my stout intake to one pint a night.  Now thanks to this satisfying stout, I can drink till the storm clears!

So far I have only come across Victory Storm King Stout at one bar: DMK Burger Bar.  It is my hope that on my 2010 Winter Expedition of Bars, more taps across Chicago gets familiar with this extraordinary imperial stout.  Not only does Storm King Stout pair well with your typical bar food such as Cheeseburgers and Fish & Chips, but it is also the perfect “lone wolf” beer.  Meaning that you can enjoy it while you sit at the bar watching your favorite sporting event.
