A Note on This Beer

What do the world’s tallest skyscrapers have in common with Perennial’s award-winning Dark Beers?

A really, really solid foundation. 

Prodigal Imperial Oatmeal Stout sets the stage as the base beer for some of the most adored brews in Perennial’s lineup! The brewers noticed how incredibly well it served those fan-favorites, so they decided to unleash Prodigal on its own. 

Drinking Prodigal is like getting a behind-the-scenes look into the most coveted creations in Perennial’s decadent Dark Beer empire, including whales like their Sump Coffee Stout and BA Abraxas.

But, what’s really amazing is that this “foundation beer” stands out so well on its own! 

Take a pull from your glass, and Prodigal enrobes your palate in sweet, cakey chocolate from cacao nibs, robust roasts, and a touch of Madagascar vanilla beans. Oats deliver Perennial’s trademark thick, velvety texture that expertly hides the 11.5% ABV, while the finish remains pleasantly dry with a hint of espresso and endless layers of chocolatey luxury.

Score a bottle of this 2020 vintage, and you can explore the mastery that started it all.

Rated 4.22 on Untappd; 94/100 on BeerAdvocate

Pretty much a straight up imperial stout! Some chocolate and fudge, but not overwhelming at all. A good imperial stout clocking in at 11.5 ABV.

Lovely vanilla/fudge flavor that’s never cloying. Alcohol is prominent and a tad distracting. The roasted malt is nice but is outshined by the sweet additives. Seems a little under-carbed. This should’ve been world class but it’s just very good.

1st beer from Tavour. Happy birthday to me! Thick, boozy, roasted cocoa but not as carbonated as expected. Maybe a little flat from cross country traveling? Just arrived today.

This powerful barrel aged stout, at 11.5%, is actually that black! A motor oil pour gives way to rich decadent fudge aromatics! Whipped mocha latte for a head, and roasty espresso with creamy vanilla across the palate! The finish is rich, velvety and yes, even more dark chocolate depth to carry you home! For being jet-black, this one is clearly a five star classic! 🍻😁👍👍 Easy 5 out of five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
