The heavens open up and the waters part for dark beer fans whenever they get their hands on the 12% ABV smoked fudge thickness of Evil Twin Brewing’s Even More Jesus Imperial Stout -- it won’t exactly perform miracles, but this beer is definitely a power to behold.

For 5 years running, it’s never relinquished its hold as one of craft’s must-try Imperial Stouts, with ratings that prove it: a 4.29 on BeerAdvocate, 4.08 on Tavour, and with over 66,000 reviews, a 4.14 on Untappd!

This straight up boozy pudding will open your eyes to deep chocolate possibilities -- char, fine cigar, leather armoire - all the while slipping in its “evil” 12% ABV. Inhale and your nose succombs to the fires of hell...if hell was stacked to the ceiling with gourmet 70% black chocolate! This supreme decadence continues on the tongue with a dance macabre of vodka-soaked raisins in Turkish espresso. The 12% ABV lurks silently beneath the mousse-like silkiness, just waiting for you as take your list sip...

It’s not a stretch to say Even More Jesus is Evil Twin’s most famous beer, making the brewery’s puppetmaster Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø a Stout savior for dark beer lovers across the globe. It’s delicious insanity can be bottled up into one simple quote from Untappd user @ZombieRaider: “Everybody needs a little Jesus in their lives... in beer form it’s the best!!
