Our annual release of Jumping the Shark is always super exciting here at Moon Dog! It's our opportunity to make the biggest, most bad-ass, delicious beer we can think of. We jam in as much flavour as possible to create something really ridiculously special. This year we thought we’d chuck this huge imperial stout into vanilla barrels, wait a while... then whack it into maple syrup barrels, wait some more... all just for the fun of double barrel aging it. Bloody genius!

From a 375ml bottle on 1/11/2019. Every time I see a new JTS, I hope and pray it will repeat the glory of the 2015 version. Pours close to black with a small tan head. The nose features chocolate, light maple syrup and a bit of vanilla, with a good dash of bourbon and oak in the background. The flavour follows suit with some precision. It's a sumptuous, rich experience - slick and syrupy - with the dessert element dialled up to 8 or 9. It's big and enjoyable without being really memorable. A quality brew, if not necessarily a value for money proposition, and a long way from the 2015.
