Barrel Aged Blackout Stout (ABV 12.5%) weighs in as a bold, brooding imperial stout the sort of beer that calls for a snifter and slow, deliberate sips. Aged for months in bourbon barrels, it offers a dark, roasty backbone with waves of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt aromas and flavors, layered with echoes of oak, vanilla, and bourbon warmth. On the palate, youll find a smooth, medium-to-full body that balances rich maltiness with a subtle boozy sweetness, often finishing with toffee or dark-fruit notes that linger just long enough. Perfect for pairing with ribeye steak, rich chocolate desserts, or pungent cheeses or for sipping by candlelight when the world outside goes still.
