🍺 Rocky Ridge's Free Your Mind Imperial Pastry Stout is a decadent indulgence, offering complexity and depth. This stout combines smoky, nutty, and sweet elements in a rich, chewy body, enhanced by a silky lactose finish.
Produced by Rocky Ridge Brewing in Australia, it's notable for its 9-hour boil and use of Sustainable Pilsner malt from Kulin, alongside double-roasted crystal malt, malted, and rolled oats for a robust foundation.
The palate features maple bacon, peanuts, marshmallow, Madagascar vanilla, and bourbon extract, all wrapped in a smooth, lactose-driven thickness. It’s luxuriously drinkable without being overwhelming.
At 9% ABV, this stout is designed for leisurely sipping on cooler evenings or pairing with rich desserts.
