The biggest beer 32 North Brewing Co. has taken on, weighing in at 10.5%, this RIS fits its profile. We weren't afraid of coffee here; and the 2 lbs of coffee per barrel does a fantastic job of masking the high ABV, leaving this beer with almost no alcohol burn, giving an exceptionally smooth drinking Russian Stout. There is some fantastic competition in that category, and in our opinion, our RIS stands up to any.
