For the Viking quest in all of us, Victory crafts a potent Imperial Stout that comes off less as a beverage than as a meal replacement fit for the fiercest of conquests. Under the roasted coffee malt overtones you'll find the lingering smoke of burning galleys, but what makes this oily elixir unique among the style is the flowery presence of new world hops. Measuring up at 9.1% abv, this stout swings a mean battle axe, and is available on draft and bottles year round in the fiords of Philly wherever Vikings congregate. "Victory!"
