A Note on This Beer

Standard Brewing just unleashed the Enemy of the Sun (2020) on the city of Seattle, and things are about to get real dark. 

This Barrel-Aged Stout Blend is so pitch-black, it could blot out the sun for days on end. But, its dark, rich cocoa depths and subtle, smoky veil are what make it such a powerful conductor of Mass Darkness:

  • Foundation of Darkness: Enemy of the Sun begins as a sweet and deceptively smooth Imperial Stout, setting the stage for dessert domination.
  • Peated Whiskey Smoke Screen: Standard ages the Imperial Stout base in award-winning Westland Peated Whiskey Barrels for 15 months. The lingering smokiness would put a twinkle in any whiskey lover’s eye.
  • Bourbon-backed Brawn: Then, the brewers blend it with a Russian Imperial Stout aged for 9 months in Elijah Craig 10 Year Oak. This gives the Stout Blend its strongly spiced, vanilla-like virility.
  • Fudge Bombs Away: In its final form, it boasts molasses-thick waves of Godiva-grade caramel, bittersweet fudge, and a rip-roaring 11% ABV all wrapped in a wisp of subtle smoke.


In a beer-drenched city, with giants like Fremont and Holy Mountain just across town, Standard has stayed one of Seattle’s best-kept secrets. 

But, with Enemy of the Sun covering the town in its decadent darkness, we suspect it’s only a matter of time until the whole world learns the power of Standard.

*Standard is a Washington Beer Awards and Best of Craft Beer Awards-winning brewery

Let this one warm up before drinking. It’s nicely smoked. And you’ll definitely feel that 11%.

Tempting to drink it ice cold but it opens up when you let it sit for a bit
