Sensory Description:
Narwhal pours deep black with a thick, mocha-colored head, exuding aromas of espresso, dark chocolate, roasted grains, and a whisper of smoke. Its palate is full-bodied and velvety, revealing layers of baker’s cocoa, dark roast coffee, and subtle caramel malt, with a balanced bitterness that tapers into a decadent, slightly smoky finish. Despite its strength, it remains refined and drinkable, a testament to expert craftsmanship.
Brewer's Background:
Founded in 1980 by Ken Grossman in Chico, California, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. helped define the American craft beer movement. Grossman’s inventive spirit led him to build his original brewhouse from salvaged parts and usher in a new era of hop-forward, character-driven beers. Today, Sierra Nevada remains 100% family-owned and continues to innovate, all while prioritizing sustainability, regenerative agriculture, and community stewardship. From their iconic Pale Ale to complex seasonal releases like Narwhal, the brewery remains a pioneering force in American brewing.
Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed at 50–55°F in a snifter or tulip glass, Narwhal Imperial Stout pairs beautifully with roasted meats, aged cheeses, flourless chocolate cake, or even a rich tiramisu. It’s also an ideal candidate for cellaring, where its bold profile will mellow and evolve, developing additional layers of complexity.
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Narwhal Imperial Stout Beer, California, USA is a bold expression of stout mastery, one that dares you to explore its inky depths with each luxurious sip. Whether savored fresh or aged in your beer cellar, this is a seasonal legend worth the dive.
