White Labs Brewing Co.'s Imperial Stout. Label approved 27 September 2019.
Stronger than 54% of the 160 Imperial Stout labels we've read.
From the label“Born in the lab and brought to life by 96 yeast strains! This beer celebrates our genome sequencing collaboration project and answers the question, "What would happen if we pitch 96 different yeast strains into one beer?" This dark, complex beer throws convention out the window to test the limits of science and defy industry standards. As 96 yeast strains struggle for dominance, a monster beer with flavor to match is unleashed. You may get tart flavor profiles on the first sip and chocolate the next, but we have no way of controlling this beast so you'll have to see for yourself. Unleash the Yeast and prepare for a tasting experience unlike any other.”
