Grimm Double Negative

Double Negative by GRIMM is an imperial stout that embodies the depth and intensity typical of its style, originating from the vibrant brewing scene in New York. With a formidable 10.0% ABV and a balanced bitterness marked by an IBU of 60, this stout offers a compelling experience for those who appreciate a bold dark beer. Expect a rich tapestry of flavors, predominantly featuring roasted malts that provide a robust backbone. Accompanying these are notes of bittersweet chocolate, weaving through each sip to create a harmonious blend of dark, indulgent flavors. Imperial stouts like Double Negative are best enjoyed when served slightly warmer than your average ale, around 50°F to 55°F, to allow the complex flavors to unfurl. A tulip glass is ideal for serving, as its shape captures the stout’s rich aromas while helping to maintain a generous head. This glassware choice enhances the sensory experience, allowing you to appreciate the full bouquet of roasted and chocolate notes. When it comes to food pairings, Double Negative complements hearty, flavorful dishes. Consider matching this stout with slow-cooked meats like beef brisket or a rich lamb stew, where its depth and roasted character can stand up to robust flavors. For a sweeter pairing, it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts or a dense chocolate torte, where the bittersweet elements of the beer mirror and enhance the cocoa notes of the dish. Whether savored alone or alongside a meal, Double Negative promises a rewarding experience for those who seek the bold and the rich.
