Blended from our finest barrels, this is Black Tuesday Blender's Choice (2025). We hand-selected Peerless Rye barrels, Four Gate Bourbon barrels, Ruby Port barrels, and Zinfandel barrels for an exquisite Imperial Stout. Revel in notes of rich vanilla, deep oak, dark fruit leather, and robust chocolate. Perfect with a Kansas City Strip Steak.

19.8%. Bourbon, Ruby Port and Zinfandel BA. Near opaque dark brown amber beer, small bubbly tan head, a pretty short lifespan. Palate is briefly airy but quickly develops weight commensurate with it's massive abv. Mildly dry and, delivering modest fine carbonation, perfect for such a hefty brew. The dark malts are somewhat light bodied but, carrying a little dark chocolate, chocolate cake and chocolate fudge, none of it too sweet. Mahooosive ripe fruit, super saturated in aged bourbon. Alcohol spice. The Port and Zinfandel barrels, make this something special. An alcohol spicy ripe red berry fruits. The richness of port, the bright fruitiness of Zinfandel, both at the heel of the bourbon richness. Wet wood bitterness and ripeness. Airy finish. Bloody hell, this is a gob full. Intense and rich. Something well beyond a port and seemingly stronger than a decent bourbon. This is an experience. As the craft beer movement starts its decline, drink this and marvel at it's pinnacles.
