About this release

A collaboration with German Frau Gruber that pushes the boundaries of pastry stout. Heavy Souls is brewed with pecans, hazelnuts and vanilla pods and takes you on a sensory journey through praline tart, s'mores and candied figs. Twelve months of aging in 12-year Elijah Craig bourbon barrels provides unparalleled depth and decadence. This ambitious beer from Paso Robles, United States, is the result of the expertise of Firestone Walker Brewing Company and German brewery Frau Gruber. With an alcohol content of 12.5 percent and a volume of 355 milliliters, this is an intense, luxurious experience where French pastry, American bourbon character and German brewing craft come together. The aging in premium bourbon barrels gives the pastry stout a richness and complexity that you won't soon forget. This is a beer for those who like to try something special and fully developed—a real flavor explosion in your glass.
