Dark Charge is a massive Imperial Stout that showcases Kentucky’s heritage – Bourbon.
Dark as the Covington night, this beer features notes of stone fruits, chocolate, coffee, oak, roasted malts, and umami. With an oil-like consistency, and tan head, it is bold enough to inspire you and strong enough to light up a city.

Bottle from Adrian shared at Lucky Bamboo bottle share. Thanks Adrian! Pours a deep brown with a finger of beige foam that dissipates. Lots of bourbon in the nose with vanilla, oak and cacao nibs. Palate is a touch thin and boozy, but as it warms more vanilla oak notes come out with lots of dark chocolate flavors. Finish has some light booze, chocolate and roasted coffee-like bitterness. Super balanced and well-done.

On tap at HopCat, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon barrels notes, with a touch of vanilla. Flavour is decadent, with a complex bourbon barrel character dominating, with a little vanilla, wood and alcohol. What an elegant use of barrels. Fantastic.

Bottle thanks to Neemo. Pours black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is roast, licorice, tobacco, wood. Medium body, roasted malt, cocoa, wood, boozy finish, very good.
