1. We aged Black Oktober in Laphaiog Barrels for some 16 months. 2. During this process, we blended it into Rum and Bourbon w/ fresh Oktober to mollify the peated maelstrom
3. We panicked again and added figs
4. This worked wonders, and so Midnight Anthracite was born
5. Separately, we made our Cambrian Root bigger and weird - it became 9.4%, it was soured, and the salt and liquorice were both amped
6. Deccan Traps was born
7. We popped 800l of Deccan straight into these ex-Midnight Anthracite barrels
8. 4 months later, Chicxulub was born!
If the eruptions of the Deccan Traps started the K/T Mass Extinction, then the Chicxulub impact certainly ended it! Drink with respect.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Opaque blacker than black colored brew with an pretty good dry bitter taste, superb hints of sour fruits, slightly chocolate and vanilla and faintly some whiskey. Nice name after an Yucatan village where an meteorite impact wiped all dinosaurs.

On tap at Cafe DeRat, Utrecht, Holland. A dark brown coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, cherry, fig, chocolate, slightly sour aroma and taste. Very interesting and fun imperial stout.

Iets te intense smaak. Alsof je te veel aanmaak in je limo hebt. Maar hoort bij de naam natuurlijk.
