Double Mashed Imperial Stout. For this massive Imperial Stout, we combined the recipes from our coveted ‘Beer Geek Vanilla Shake’ and an MKSD favorite ‘Traeblod’ to create something very special. Brewed with solely the first-runnings from each recipe, and then boiled for over 12 hours, we developed an incredibly complex caramelization and rich character; this is truly a special treat.
Aged in a blend of Heaven Hill, Weller, & Old Fitzgerald barrels for over a year, LifeBlod developed a succulent milk chocolate character, layers of toasted coconut and coffee, and a warming spirit backbone. We hope this will settle in welcomingly with our world-class barrel-aged Imperial Stouts of the present, and push us into a new era of decadence!

2021 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Big bourbon focused nose with oak, vanilla and dark chocolate. Thiccboi on the body, no adjuncts. Balanced with bourbon and dark chocolate and light dark fruit notes as it warms. Drying finish with bourbon and dark chocolate all over the place. Mikkeller SD continues to knock it out of the park.
