Brooklyn Brewery Black Ops Barrel Aged Stout

Notes

What a monster of a beer… I love it. Pitch‑black, velvety smooth, neither too sweet nor too bitter. A proper Imperial Stout aged in Four Roses bourbon barrels — and it absolutely shows. This is a heavy hitter for when you want to unwind or pair it with a bold, rich meal. Just be mindful of the can size and the ABV 😉

The price is surprisingly reasonable (around $20 for a four‑pack), but being a special edition, it’s not the easiest to track down. Actually…this one falls squarely into what I call the ALDI category: once it’s gone, it’s gone…(or you’re going to have a very hard time finding one)

I’m 100% saving my last one for a special moment.
