With the return of its original moniker, Bring Out Your Dead, this Armagnac Barrel Aged Imperial Stout deserved to be something different.
The 2025 edition of Bring Out Your Dead is a blend of Armagnac barrel aged vintages: 40% was aged for 30 months (since June of 2022) and the other 60% for 14 months (since Oct 2023). Armagnac is typically distilled to a lower alcohol level, which leaves the spirit with more depth of flavour prior to it being blended.
On the nose, you’ll find boozy armagnac notes with molasses and marzipan, but deep down it’s rich bodied with a medium sweetness and a boozy warmth. Notes of apricot, molasses, fig and dates, alongside lingering oak tannins and caramelized sugar.
