Imperial Stout

Winter Warmer

Massive, boozy, and complex. Often barrel-aged for additional depth.

Aged for 60 days in Oregon bourbon barrels from Westward Whiskey. Rich vanilla from the oak, warm bourbon heat on the finish. Brewed once a year, released the first Saturday of December.

Food pairings

Chocolate lava cake
A dessert in itself — bourbon-barrel vanilla meets molten chocolate.
Blue cheese
Sweet, boozy depth tames the funk and salt of a sharp blue.
Candied bacon
Roast and smoke from the malt mirror the candied, smoky bacon.
