This beer began in our brewery in May of 2021.
It saw three rounds of spirit-soaked barrels across a slew of makers: Knob Creek, Jim Beam, Stagg Jr, Blanton’s, Heaven Hill, George Dickel, 18yr Elijah Craig, 10yr Russell Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey, and Willett Family Reserve Rye with fill dates of June 2021, August 2022 and finally July 2023.
Pouring hard into an oversized glass, encouraging a thick foam head, this bucket tar suffocates CO2 and light in some wicked way. It's easy to catch a glance of the aroma the second you crack the can. Burrowing down in the glass, you’re slammed with the foundation of BA stout recipes.
Oak, stout, char whiskey, complex malts, burnt sugar, and heft. Drink it down and you’re tilted into the details that make Catch Hell a legion offering from our brewery.
Cinnamon, dark cherry, nougat, birthday cake, reserve spirt, and hard-to-place neural collisions. With this one, you have to give your friends the eyes.

Rated at Platinum Beer Lounge - Viikki Branch HQ. Intense, heavy and thick with loads of cinnamon and vanilla, some bourbon, syrup, hints of coconut, toffee and cocoa. Pretty thick and massive, quite complex and tasty. Nice one. --- Beer merged from original tick of Triple Barrel Catch Hell (2024) on 08 May 2024 at 19:57 - Score: 9.

Can shared by MJ. Black with almost no head, fairly viscous. Quite some heat from barrels and booze yet also fairly balanced and easy drinking. Roast, cinnamon, dark chocolate. Slight vanilla that appears to give some sweetness. Impressive heavy hitter.

12oz can, Stout Week line share, 2/18/24. Dark, inky, viscous, no head. Nose has pieces of the cinnamon and vanilla but they are supplementary to the main force of malt and barrel, thankfully. Big and rich with deep, dark spice, and a surprising mellowness for its recent release. Lots of pepper, toffee and dark choco-cinnamon lingering. Soft, rich, thick, lightly syrupy but not horribly sweet nor boozey. Cinnamon complements the bourbon and vanilla isn't overdone. Rich malts, spicy bourbon, great balance. This one shows, I think, that bigger can sometimes be better.
