About this release

Barrel-Aged Sump 2026 is a powerful imperial stout from Perennial, aged for twelve months in Rittenhouse Rye barrels combined with Sump coffee.

This dark, intense beer especially appeals to lovers of barrel-aged coffee stouts. With an alcohol content of 12.7%, it offers a full, warm body that works harmoniously with the subtle spices and roasted coffee notes.
