Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout is the beast that slumbers in a bourbon barrel, dreaming dark dreams. You’ve awakened it, rousing aromas of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and smooth vanilla. It sets its deeply dark, ruby-hued eye on you and casts a warming 13.7% ABV spell. Suddenly, you Wake Up Dead.

PKGD Feb 19, 2026 (now THAT'S FRESH!).See previous reviews of regular WUD, this iteration with good mouthfeel/aroma; add a nice bourbony/vanillaish/oakey flavor along with the old malty/roasty notes. Every bit it's advertised 13.7%. & a warming backend. The only quibbles, it's got such low carbonation you'd say it was flat. As it warms up all the flavors except the whisky fade significantly plus the backend becomes more harsh & sharp and it's kinda pricey at $11/12oz. but worth it for a one time fling.
