With eleven different grains used in the brewing process, this is one of the more complex stouts out there. Several different roasted barleys, wheat, oats and caramelized grains yield hints of bread, toffee, dark fruits, chocolate and coffee. Just enough hops for balance and traditional English yeast for true stout character.

Wrecking Bar Brewpub "Jemmy Stout"
16 fl. oz. can, without a canned on date. Sampled on 03.03.2026
Notes via stream of consciousness: This is labeled at 6.7 % ABV. It's poured an opaque black body beneath a massive head of dark tan foam. When held to the light I can see some small ruby colored highlights at the base of the glass. It's roasty in the nose with dark chocolate and some caramel. The taste is quite roasty and bitter - think espresso-like. I'm going to guess that this is around 60-70 IBUs. The caramel and dark chocolate remain, and there's a black-bread component to it, and some smokiness as well. Anything else? There's a little bit of fruitiness from the yeast that's like apples and berries, some burnt sugar, and just a touch of leafy hops. In the mouth it's medium bodied and crisp. The head has held up well and there's some great lacing left behind. I was expecting this to be richer and sweeter, with more complexity to it because of the strength, but that's not the case. IT IS INTENSE! but that's all roastiness, bittersweet dark chocolate, and bitterness. I won't call it out of balance, because it's not, but be aware of what it is before you buy it - this isn't a pastry beer, it's a full-throttle stout!

Poured from the tap into a pint glass at the Battery in Smyrna, Georgia. The appearance is pitch black with a medium sized white head. The aroma is full of roasted malts with some cocoa. The taste is also big on roasted malt with some sweet cocoa. An excellent beer.

Rich chocolate, mild balanced earthy coffee. Nice caramelized sugar notes that help round of and kilned malt sharpness. One of the top coffee stouts i've ever had. Hold's it's own with the imperials at 6.4%.

Smooth drinking stout. A little light on body but with a nice brown large bubble head. Smokey notes with roasted malt flavours. A session stout if you will.
