Two Brother's North Wind Imperial Stout

A little back story. If you watch the show "Bar Rescue" on Spike, there was an episode about a bar in Chicago that was renovated called Blue Frog 22. They changed the name to The Local after the renovation and after watching it, we decided that when we were in Chicago we had to go. Walked in there today around 1:30 and couldn't of been more disappointed. Service was slow, place was kind of run down (not in a good, dive bar way) and there was loud rap music blasting for the short time we were there. Mimi should be ashamed!!

As for the beer, Two Brother's is a local brewery that had two beers on tap at The Local, an imperial stout and a belgian wheat I think. I opted for the stout of course. Poured into a snifter glass and had a little coffee aroma, but mostly hops and slight alcohol. Taste was malty with a little chocolate and coffee in the front, but finished very alcoholy. It is 8 percent abv, but they could have hid the alcohol a bit more. Was disappointed that it didn't have more coffee, chocolate or some other flavor, but it did pack some nice hops towards the middle. Overall, not a bad stout, but nothing to write home about (literally I'm in Chicago and there will be no letters sent about this one). Cheers!
