A Note on This Beer

In the 2004 slapstick comedy, Dodgeball, a rag-tag group of misfits join forces to win a dodgeball tournament, which is televised on ESPN 8 — a.k.a. The Ocho. So, it’s ironic that this Imperial Stout came not from a group of underdogs, but from some of the most admired, coveted, and respected names in the world of craft!

Check out this team’s all-star lineup:

Hailing from Paso Robles, California, the brewery that Men’s Journal called “world class quality!” It’s Firestone Walker!

Next up, all the way from Prescott, Arizona, they’re one of the Top 15 Meaderies on the Planet on Untappd! It’s Superstition!

And, as team captain, Travel and Leisure calls them One of the Best Breweries in the craft-soaked city! It’s Mikkeller San Diego! 

That’s not even half of it! Rounding out the incredible roster is Portland’s Gigantic Brewing, Alameda’s Almanac Beer Co., Arizona Wilderness Brewing, and 7 Island Brewery all the way from Greece! It’s basically a brewing dream team — the opposite of underdogs. And for this Stout, they pulled out all the stops! 

First, they brewed a rich and roasty Stout overflowing with flavors of fresh roasted coffee, hot cocoa, and subtle nuances of berry. Then, they aged it for a full year in a combination of Blantan’s Bourbon, Ransom Whiskey, Superstition Mead, and Firestone Union Barrels! 

The result is rich, roasty, and incredibly complex with flavors that will unfold across your tastebuds. Chocolate, honey, caramel, char, and hints of date and raisin are all there!

We only have 25 cases, but if you manage to snag this hyper-limited brew, you never have to feel like an underdog again. Just sit back, cue up a zany comedy, and pour yourself a pint of this incredible collab. You’ll feel like a champion from the very first sip.

Coffee, chocolate, some sweetness, some metallic and some alcohol heat. I wanted to enjoy this more but it wasn't to be.

Honestly it tastes like someone dropped a cherry flavored alka seltzer into root beer. So disappointed in this

Too much cherry/berry in almost a cough syrup tastebup front. If you get past that much better on back end. Have one more bottle that I will let age
