The Seawise Giant Imperial Stout from Container Brewing’s head brewer, Tim Juul, is very easy-drinking for the style. I was actually taken aback when I had my first sip considering it weighs in at 11.2 percent. Don’t take the drink-ability for granted though, as it most definitely still packs a punch.

Seawise Giant has a delicious, rich flavour profile from the roasted malts used in the brewing process. The addition of cocoa nibs provides decadent chocolate notes and a subtle, warming nudge of alcohol comes through on the finish. I think I just found my new go-to imperial stout!
