Robustly Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Beer Has a Complex Character & Unabashedly Strong Flavor

— March 25, 2022 — Lifestyle
Denver-based River North Brewery has long been renowned as a purveyor of spectacularly high-quality stouts, barrel-aged beers and other strong beverages, and the company is well and truly furthering its reputation in this sector with the release of a brand new triple-barrel-aged Imperial stout that walks a spectacular tightrope between perfection and overkill, making it a wonderfully ambitious brew.

This particular Imperial stout is aged in two different varieties of bourbon barrels before spending some time in Colorado whiskey barrels for months on end, with the end result being a beer that has a marvelously strong, complex and intense flavor, not to mention a high-end ABV of 22.04%.

With unabashedly bold presentations of oak, toffee, cocoa and caramel, this Imperial stout will tantalize and interest even the most seasoned of stout enthusiasts.
