Description
Racoon City Reserve from 450 NORTH is an indulgent stout that showcases the robust character typical of its style, hailing from Indiana's vibrant brewing scene. With an impressive ABV of 9.5%, this dark beer promises an intense and bold experience, lacking bitterness with an IBU of 0. Expect rich layers of roasted malt, likely delivering notes of coffee and dark chocolate on the palate. True to the stout profile, it offers a full-bodied mouthfeel that can be both comforting and complex. For those looking to pair Racoon City Reserve with food, consider hearty dishes that can match its depth. A classic beef stew or a succulent pot roast would complement the stout's rich flavors, while a dark chocolate dessert would echo its potential cocoa notes. The absence of bitterness makes it an excellent companion for creamy cheeses too, like a robust blue or a well-aged cheddar, which can create a delightful contrast. Serving this stout at the right temperature is key to unlocking its full potential. Aim for a slightly chilled range, around 50-55°F, to allow the aromatic compounds to flourish. Pour it into a tulip or snifter glass, which is ideal for capturing the complex bouquet and concentrating the aroma, making each sip a sensory experience. As with many dark beers, letting it breathe for a moment before diving in can enhance the overall tasting experience. Racoon City Reserve stands out not just for its strength but for its ability to embody the essence of Indiana's brewing creativity. Whether you're savoring it alongside a meal or enjoying it solo, this stout is sure to offer a deep and rewarding exploration of flavors crafted in the heartland.

Hard to go wrong with 450 North when you want something big in flavor.

Chilled can after a long bike ride. Bold stuff, definitely packs a punch at 9.5%. Would grab again for weekend hangs.
