BA IMPERIAL STOUT - 100% of proceeds go to Alex Kidd (@dontdrinkbeers on insta) in his fight against cancer - triple mash & 24hr boil, single barrel select, aged in a BLIS maple syrup bourbon barrel for 17 months, big notes of chocolate covered cherry and raspberry, full luxurious mouthfeel.

Our friend Alex was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few weeks back. We’re joining with the beer community in rallying to help him pay for his medical bills with the proceeds from this limited-release beer.

On the pour is a deep, dark motor oil viscosity. Hardly any noticeable carbonation, and unmistakably full-bodied.

The nose takes some time to open up, but brings notes of caramelized cherry, aniseed, and smoked maple syrup. There's a great staggered effect to how the profile opens up, beginning with rich stewed fruit, following with that nuanced spice, and finally rounding out after more time in the glass with complex charred undertones.

The palate comes on expectedly smooth and viscous. The fruit-forward base makes way for bittering dark chocolate, smoky malt, and a deeply complex, full-bodied red wine character on the finish. Specifically, we felt that drying tannin followed by notes of raspberry compote and pipe tobacco.

There's a great viscosity to the whole experience, drinking smooth and warming all the way down. The carbonation is low but present, and on the finish is noticeable booze, subtle dryness, and low bitterness.
