The Beer
Black Tuesday is more than just an incredibly delicious, complex, extravagant barrel-aged imperial stout. It's innovation and passion in a bottle; it's expertise and years of experience in liquid form; it's the very foundation of who we are at The Bruery – never satisfied with "good enough" and always on the hunt for something more.
Black Tuesday (2022)
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout ∙ 19.7% Alc. by Vol.
About the beer
Elegantly innovative and uniquely complex, Black Tuesday has come to be synonymous with the cream of the crop when it comes to barrel-aged imperial stouts. After aging in choice bourbon barrels for over a year, this imperial stout has a complexity and flavor profile all its own. Distinct notes of crème brûlée and poached fig are interlaced with hints of malted milk balls and Australian licorice. Cheers to Tuesdays!
Tasting Notes
Pouring a rich jet black with a thick, quickly-dissolving frothy head, Black Tuesday is as decadent as ever with rich notes of dark fruit, complimented by bittersweet chocolate, smooth vanilla, and crisp coconut gained from time in bourbon barrels. The palate is greeted with hints of molasses and caramelized sugars balanced with oak lactones and medium roast coffee with a warm booziness on the finish.

Black Tuesday Blender's Choice
Blended Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout ∙ 19.9% Alc. by Vol.
About the beer
Every great beer has a story, and this is no exception: years ago, our Bruers acquired several specialty bourbon barrels with dreams of a unique, high-end blend of Black Tuesday. This blend of barrels from more than six premium distilleries was carefully crafted from only the most exceptional barrels. Aptly named “Blender’s Choice” in recognition of our expertise and passion for the art of barrel-aging, this hand-selected blend is truly top-shelf worthy.
Tasting Notes
Blended to taste, Black Tuesday Blender's Choice is every bit as decadent and complex as you'd expect. Heavy oak notes with hints of ashy char and tobacco blend effortlessly with smooth spirit character. Enjoy notes of light maple syrup and vanilla mingling with hints of honeysuckle and stewed apples. Dark roast coffee and baker's chocolate linger on the finish of this indulgent treat.

Small-Batch Black Tuesday Collection (2022)
Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stouts ∙ 4 styles ∙ 12 bottles
About the collection
Tradition and innovation, hand in hand. For the fourth annual release of our Small-Batch Black Tuesday Collection, we continued our tradition of treating our iconic Black Tuesday in innovative, unique, and delicious new ways.
This year’s collection is something of a journey— from Mexico with the street treat-inspired Brueonico to the Southern USA with Peaches en Ruegalia, based on your grandma’s peach cobbler; and Italy with both Tre Fette and Affogetaboutit, two dessert-worthy sippers. We crafted this entire collection with love and expertise, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
