About This Beer
When Paste Mag ran a blind tasting of 102 Imperial Stouts, they included some seriously outstanding brews. But River North’s Mr. Sandman beat out all of them to take 1st place! And thanks to a 12 month stint in Colorado single malt whiskey barrels, the 2024 BA variant is even smoother and more complex!
Tasting Notes
Take a sip, and you’ll discover a rich nuttiness weaving through roasty malts and notes of rich caramel. Brown sugar nuances mingle alongside flavors of fig and baker’s chocolate before fading into opulent hints of whiskey oak and vanilla — all hiding a bold 13.1% ABV!

Massive charred wood and whiskey on entrance is accompanied by bakers chocolate. Develops into caramel. Finish is black licorice and tobacco. The char wood and whisky was a bit overpowering.

Such a deep dark smokey monster of a brew. Always a favorite.
