A Note on This Beer

903 Brewers just re-released a collector’s brew due to popular demand!

And, in case you missed our tiny stash the last time, there are three things you need to know about Fragile Like a Bomb Oatmeal Pastry Stout upfront:

  • It’s potent — 16.4% ABV!
  • It’s powerful — it’s an homage to the late, great Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
  • It’s THICK — oats in the base plus additions of whiskey-soaked coffee beans and vanilla sugar create huge, fudgy mocha swirls!


Intrigued? The brewers aged this incredible sipper on oak spirals, too, adding nuances of toffee and earthy spice. They even boiled it extra long (20 hours!) to bolster that ultra thick, velvety mouthfeel. Every opulent sip is like licking vanilla-espresso soft serve topped with caramel, right off the cone.  

If you're wondering how the Imperial Stout came by its name, it’s because the brewers wanted something that spoke to RBG’s enduring legacy. Author Rahul Singh Rathour said this about the Supreme Court Justice after her death: “She was not fragile like a flower. She was fragile like a bomb.”

To be blunt like RBG, this is a tribute beer worth collecting. And, if you weren’t in Texas for the release, your best chance at snagging one is right here.

Rated 4.31 on Untappd!

Getting aromas of vanilla, cocoa and the whiskey-soaked coffee beans right out the gate, maybe even a bit of caramel. Flavors coming through are cocoa-malty, oakey, other flavors layered in there. This is a seriously fine sipping brew. Bravo, 903!

Really balanced. Booziness is well hidden. Los of character and nuances. All the flavors play well off of each other

Thick mouth feel, sweet but with a great whiskey/coffee balance to offset. Really like how they kept the malt bitterness in check.

Wasn’t really impressed by this beer as I thought it to be bland. Maybe others thought more or had a better experience, not me.

This is good, it’s boozy as f***, obviously at 16.4%. At first I tasted the bourbon from the coffee beans, vanilla and bunch of booze. After it warmed up a little the coffee came through stronger. Not as thick as you’d think. This is a slow sipper.

Beautiful balance of flavors in this stupidly smooth and delicious brew. Love the tribute to RBG who did so much in the fight for equality; a great theme for this style. Wish I bought a few of these instead of just the one. Please find me more!

Excellent stout! Malt and chocolate on the nose. Loads of dark chocolate, coffee, and oak that’s very well balanced. Not overly sweet at all. The whiskey shines through as it warms. This is a good one to drink slow.
