Fluffing the sessions: A look at Kuhnhenn brews

Imperial Mud

12.5% ABV — Imperial Mud is an imperial stout with all of the qualities you would expect from the style. With a high ABV at 12.5%, Imperial Mud is the same recipe base as Kuhnhenn’s famous Michigan Mud. Brewed with Michigan malt and hops, the aroma is dominated by combination of them. The vanilla beans and cocoa nibs ease the bitter chocolate found in the brew.

As the beer warms, the bitterness calms and the chocolate notes come through. The taste is thrown back and forth from bitter to sweet and finishes with slight bitter chocolate on the tongue with a tingle. This imperial milk stout is huge and by the time you’re finished, the lace on the glass will be nothing but a reminder of the heat provided.

Michigan Hops Loonie Kuhnie Pale Ale

5.8% ABV — This limited-release batch of Loonie Kuhnie Pale Ale is brewed with exclusively with Michigan-grown hops from Top Hops in Goodrich. The brew is golden in color with very minimal head. The nose is sweet and very inviting.
