The Beer: An 8% Imperial IPA from Pleasantville, NY
The Location: Jay’s place

The Captain recommends enjoying his Imperial IPA “with aged cheeses such as Stilton, cured and grilled meats”, so it’s with great joy I note we ensured we enjoyed it with aged cheeses and cured meats. A tray of assorted cheeses, meats and sausages was assembled by Kurt, and enjoyed throughout this fine beer. An extremely fruity and spicy aroma just promised a bevy of hops, and the taste didn’t disappoint. She’s simultaneously fruity and peppery, sweet and malty, and was surprisingly thick and rich for the style. And from just down the highway! Very enjoyable.
