Like the Stealth aircraft that inspired it, this bourbon barrel aged stout is shrouded in mystery. While its secrets may remain hidden forever, you hold in your hand a piece of the puzzle.

Bottle from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Opaque black with veneer of head, nice viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is strong, fruity bourbon, roasted molasses. Taste is strong bourbon, rye, molasses. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation, no sign of alcohol, and finish as taste. Rye/bourbon would not exactly be described as "mellow" (like Pure Project Soul Alchemy) but likely good matches for each other.

Another BA stout showing off the barrel character in a big way. The stout is roasty, bitter dark chocolate, and some light coffee notes.

Bottle purchased in November 2023 on a trip to Disney. Enjoyed in May 2025. Deep black with big brown head. Aroma of treacle, vanilla, barrel, booze and chocolate. Flavor is massive booze and chocolate. Bakers chocolate and powdered chocolate on the flavor. Viscous and velvety mouthfeel. Great!

Draft. Blackish beer with a dark tan head. Dried fruit and light bourbon aroma. Dried fruit and toffee flavor with light bourbon and citrus bind. Fuller bodied. Dried fruit and citrus rind linger with toffee, light bourbon, and light chocolate.

[2023] 500mL bottle. Pours black with a very thin tan head. Tons of rye and molasses, dark sugars, and hefty bourbon barrels on the nose. Flavour has a rich roasty character, rye, thick molasses, plenty of bourbon barrels. Super rich and well-integrated. Fantastic.
