We lined 4 Imperial Stouts we thought were top notch yet mostly easily accessible.
After lining them up, we had our lovely assistant pour them while Mike and I twiddled our thumbs in the other room.
The order of the stouts was then written down and sealed in an envelope. Were your hosts able to figure out which beer was what or did they brutally fail? You’ll have to watch to find out!
