WASHINGTON — Clear the calendar. A monster is headed for your glass.

WTOP’s Brennan Haselton is joined by Neighborhood Restaurant Group Beer Director and James Beard Award nominee Greg Engert to talk about The Bruery Black Tuesday Imperial Stout for the latest edition of WTOP’s Beer of the Week.

Quick facts:

Brewery: The Bruery, Placentia, California
Description: According to the brewery, “This bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout brings a seemingly roaring combination of flavors — including vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate and singed oak — into a decadent, sophisticated fusion.”
ABV: 19.5 percent
Greg’s pairing suggestions: Big meats such as duck, lamb and steak; Middle Eastern and Greek foods such as falafel, hummus and souvlaki; Pork Tonkotsu ramen.
