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.

Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
19.5% Alc. by Vol.  |  750ml & 375ml

About the beer

Elegant, innovative, complex: Black Tuesday provides a uniquely elevated beer-drinking experience unlike any other. Surprisingly smooth at 19.5% ABV, this is a beer you won’t soon forget.

Tasting Notes

Rich, complex flavor from time spent aging in bourbon barrels mingles effortlessly with distinct notes of crème brûlée, poached figs, and milk chocolate.

With four familiar-yet-new pancake-inspired treatments, this collection of beers brings all the complex depth of flavor you’d expect of Black Tuesday and melds it seamlessly with the sweet, sometimes fruity, sometimes rich, always delicious flavors of some of our favorite pancake toppings.
