Imperial Stout brewed with our friend Andrew LeStourgeon, the acclaimed pastry chef and owner of Monarch & the Milkweed, as well as Michael Calascibetta, the head of their beer program. We couldn't think of anyone we would rather partner with for such a project.

For this particular beer we found inspiration in the "Cannelé," Andrew's favorite pastry. Notoriously difficult to make, and layered with flavor, the development of a beer that properly represented the intricacies of the Cannelé took time and certain translational liberties. The result was conditioned with Monarch's house-made caramelized sugar, hazelnut praline, and brown butter rum-soaked vanilla beans. We hope you enjoy
