Newport Storm Red Dawn

This Russian Imperial Stout sticks to traditional style guidelines utilizing English Chocolate Malt and German Chocolate Wheat to bring forth a rich chestnut color and deep tan head. Never ones to stick completely to tradition though, brewers decided to get extreme with Red Dawn and highlight the roast characteristics of this brew that are often masked by the chocolate sweetness. The use of Canada Pale Malt, Castle Special B Malt and English Black Malt gives this brew a complex flavor of raisin, plum and roasted nuts. Magnum hops were used for bitterness to balance out the chocolate malts, while flaked barley and oats were layered in to create a velvety mouthfeel and smooth finish.
