About this release

A barrel-aged imperial stout brewed in collaboration with 18th Street Brewery, bursting with bananas, cacao nibs and vanilla beans. This beast matured for no less than 33 months in Old Fitzgerald and Weller Bourbon barrels. The nose welcomes you with ripe, chocolate-coated bananas, while the taste takes you on a journey to a banana cream pie with Nilla wafers. This is a masterclass in barrel-aging from Perennial Artisan Ales from St. Louis, the American brewery that has gained worldwide recognition with creations such as the legendary Abraxas Imperial Stout and Saison de Lis. Perennial is known for pursuing craftsmanship and refinement, often drawing inspiration from Belgian brewing traditions. Their collaboration with 18th Street Brewery resulted in a particularly complex and luxurious stout that exceeds every expectation. With an alcohol content of 13.2 percent, this 750ml bottle offers a full, intense experience. The aging in premium bourbon barrels adds depth and character to the final product, with each element, from the bananas to the vanilla beans and cacao nibs, perfectly balanced and integrated. This is a stout for those who aren't afraid of full flavor profiles and patient aging.
