A Bellwoods take on spiced rum, this imperial stout was aged for a year in rum barrels with a melange of ginger, all spice, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, and juniper berries. What has emerged is a refined, smooth, warming, and lethally delicious spiced stout that’ll induce sharp pangs of nostalgia long after your final bottle is empty. And though it’s our highest alcohol beer to date, you’ll find the beauty is in the balance.

A deep dark stout with a thin dark brown head. In aroma, dark sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, molasses, licorice, alcohol warmth, bourbon barrel, beautiful. In mouth, wow. Dark chocolate with peated scotch notes, bitter chocolate, licorice notes, molasses, alcohol warmth, beautiful. On tap at brewery.
