Elbow Patches has been a mainstay at VBC since Day 1, and we realized that outside of the occasional brite keg and barrel-aged offerings, we've never canned an Elbow Patches variant. That seemed like a mighty slight for our most-awarding winning recipe, so we are doubling down on our Year Round Oatmeal Stout with DOUBLE ELBOW PATCHES.
An IMPERIAL Oatmeal Stout to be enjoyed responsibly with breakfast (only if you're staying home all day), lunch (if you have no plans afterwards), dinner (if you're eating lite), or anytime in between (if you roll like we do). A smooth, velvety base sets the stage for pronounced aromas of Chocolate and Coffee, which belies the surprising potency of this small batch release.

Virginia Beer Double Elbow Patches Imperial Oatmeal Stout 10.5% While Elbow Patches is a solid example of an oatmeal stout this ramps things up but keeps the same beautiful look. The roasty dark chocolate aroma adds some savory soy and chocolate covered candies fruit. Full velvety body, very smooth but with some boozy heat/warmth in your stomach makes it good for a cold dreary winter day. The taste matches the aroma with sharp berry notes coated in 70% cacao thrown in. Elbow Patches is a nice daily stout while this beast is really good for a special treat.
