IMPERIAL CHAOS

Known around the Columbia Gorge as “a badass Imperial Stout“, Imperial Chaos is the first Double Mountain brew by Kyle Larsen. A good friend of Brewpublic, Kyle formerly brewed at Full Sail, and was a keg slinger at Belmont Station.

Double Mountain's Kyle LarsenLarsen, the beer’s architect and brewer, incorporated a blend of dark malts including chocolate, Carafa, Special B and roasted barley to  deliver a frontier of  complexity in both aroma and flavor. Bumped with light and dark Candi sugar, and buoyed by plenty of bittering hops, this is one of the most anticipated behemoths of the new year.

9.5% ABV, 90 BU

Double Mountain co-founder Charlie Devereux and Kyle and will be at the Station around 5:30 on Thursday to raise a glass with all the fine folks at Belmont Station. See you there!
