About This Beer
The award-winning crew at Breakside aged their black-as-space Stout base in bourbon and maple syrup barrels. It’s like staring into the night sky — only peering into this black pour reveals a delicious future!
Tasting Notes
Every complex quaff takes you deeper into the barrels’ decadent depths. Oak-inflected notes of whiskey spice combine with malts for mouthfuls that evoke maple syrup-drizzled rye bread. Hints of brownie batter and chewy raisins bolster the body and sweeten the sip, masterfully hiding the hefty 13.2% ABV.

Chocolate, espresso, & roast in aroma. Bourbon is definitely present. Taste follows aroma w/a touch of leather & maple. Appreciate maple isn’t overly sweet.
