"At the end of November we welcomed La Pirata Brewing to Galway for the long awaited return leg of our collaboration. This triple mashed Imperial Stout spent three months in steel before being infused with thoughtful amounts of Madagascan Vanilla beans & tonka beans. The bean treatments have added layers of decadent milk chocolate & vanilla to what was already a luscious imperial stout.." BB is March 2023 (Canned March 2022)

"A brooding heavyweight of a beer. Inspired by an 18th century recipe for Courage Russian Imperial Stout.This beer features large quantities of charred and roasted malts, balanced by layers of dark crystal malts and a touch of smoke. Fermented with classic workhouse British ale yeast."

"RUBICON is a massive, velvety stout that hits hard from the first sip. Waves of roasted peanut, toasted hazelnut, and deep cocoa roll across the palate. Dark, rich, and dangerously smooth. 12% of pure liquid darkness."

Big Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout with Vanilla

"BEHIND THIS BEER
While sampling stouts from our barrel storage, we came across a handful of bourbon barrels that were perfectly ripe for the picking. Full of the expected aromas of rich chocolate fudge, sweet vanilla, caramelized sugar, toasted oak, warming whiskey and umami notes, but with a very distinct coconut aroma topping it all off. We decided to amplify this coconut vibe just a touch without overshadowing the original character of both the barrel aging and the stout itself.

TASTING NOTES
Rich, velvety, boozy, chocolate fudge, warm vanilla, hint of dark miso and toasted coconut.
