Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Rye Stout with Black Ring Coffee
For the seventh bottled batch of this Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Coffee Stout, we've partnered with our own Supervising Brewer, Bryan Barron, and his Long Beach-based coffee roasting company @black_ring_coffee!
When Bryan isn't overseeing our brewing operations, he's perfecting the next batch of beans on the 14lb coffee roaster at the business he's owned since 2017. He and the Black Ring team are known for their small-batch roasts, award-winning cold brew, and house-made syrups -- and they've been keeping our Production Team caffeinated since Bryan joined our team this summer!
We’re thrilled to showcase the washed El Salvador - Las Lomas coffee beans Bryan selected and roasted specifically for RedEye November (2024). This coffee brings decadent flavors of toasted marshmallows, walnuts, semi-sweet chocolate, and baking spices to Darkstar November's base notes of burnt sugar, spicy rye, and oak.

Motor oil with a faint olive rim. Mocha, leather, Bourbon, vanilla. Bourbon & vanilla foremost. Alcohol & fusels. Coffee arrives after some time, in the nether throat regions. Not quite 'boozy', if it comes near, but the spirit is too refined. Complex, almost vinous. Very sticky, viscous as few, voluptuous. Utterly full bodied, furious alcoholheat. Mild carbonation. Impressive beer, iron fist in a velvet glove.

Draft at Tjaps Taphorst festival. 2023 edition,15 3%. Color: Black, thin beige head. Aroma: Coffee, Bourbon notes. Taste: Dryer than the Darstar November I had before this one. Great to have the chance to try both from draft over here in The Netherlands while only half a year ago it was only possible to drink Bottle Logic beers from the side market. The coffee is present quite strongly. Some spicy rye, Bourbon, vanilla and licorice, pushed back by the coffee. Boozy. Full body, below average carbonation. Medium to over medium sweet, moderate to over moderate bitterness. I prefer the more complex Darkstar November, although there's nothing wrong with this one.
