OVERVIEW
Subtype / Style
American brewers, inclined as they are to experiment with the limits of beer styles, have pushed American Stout to high levels of malt and hop character. Thus, they’ve “doubled,” or “imperialized,” American Stout into a very strong brew. Expect a very robust, full-bodied stout with lots of complexity in aroma and flavor, with many examples surpassing Russian Imperial Stout beers in strength and intensity. Look for a dark, virtually black color displaying the beer’s roasted malt soul. The rich malts combine with generally high hop aromas and flavors along with alcohol notes and esters of dark fruits. All elements are typically balanced, exhibiting a layered complexity, with many examples aged in whiskey or bourbon barrels for additional levels of aroma and flavor. American Imperial Stout and Imperial Stout beers may be cellar-aged, during which the beer’s character will evolve. These are beers for sipping and savoring. Several popular examples are only available on a special-release basis.
Producer Story
Gregg Berman and some friends submitted “Clown Shoes” in a contest that was seeking a name for a new beer. When it didn’t win – or even crack the top five – Berman wasn’t going to give up on it. Confident he was onto something, Berman teamed up with Dan Lipke, head brewer at Mercury Brewing in Ipswich, Mass., to brew a beer called Clown Shoes. With no expectations of creating a brand, just a “one and done” beer, he only meant to have fun with it. But beer enthusiasts expressed accolades for the beer, and indeed a brand was born! That was December, 2009.
Today, Clown Shoes offers multiple brews of different styles, including Hoppy Feet and Hoppy Feet 1.5, both American Black Ales (Black IPAs); Clementine White Ale; Eagle Claw Fist Imperial Amber Ale; Tramp Stamp Belgian IPA; and Brown Angel Brown Ale. Clown Shoes beers are great brews for those who take beer seriously, as well as for those who are just clowning around.
