Black Tuesday Private Barrel Program 2023: Amburana

Black Tuesday has always been about pushing the boundaries of intensity, indulgence, and craft—and this rare Amburana Barrel-Aged edition takes that philosophy to another level.

Our legendary imperial stout, already renowned for its bold depth and complexity, is given an extraordinary twist by finishing in Amburana wood casks. Native to Brazil and prized for its rarity, Amburana has long been used in aging cachaça and select whiskies, but is seldom seen in beer. Its unique character imparts deep layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, maple syrup, butterscotch, and vanilla—an intensity of flavor unlike anything oak can offer.

The result is a profoundly limited edition of Black Tuesday, marrying its hallmark richness of dark chocolate and roasted malts with the exotic spice and warmth of Amburana. It’s a collector’s piece as much as it is an indulgent drinking experience—crafted for those who seek out the extraordinary.
