Silver City Brewery’s GABF award-winning Dark Beer skills have earned them a reputation for creating stellar barrel-aged brews. For their annual Valentine’s series, we’ve got a gift better than roses, better than chocolates: their Bourbon Barrel-Aged Time Goddess Raspberry Stout!

This powerful 9.9% ABV beer has seen it all. She began as Time Twister: Silver City’s GABF, NABA, and Washington Beer Award-winning Imperial Stout. Then she traveled through ancient Kentucky Bourbon barrels and soaked up their oaky vanilla wisdom. She meditated with sweet-tart raspberries and learned the ways of this tangy berry. Mulling over these flavors until achieving an ideal balance of roasty chocolate cut with jammy notes.

It’s easy to fall in love with Time Goddess. Like a dark chocolate truffle filled with bourbon-raspberry cream, this Stout blends Chocolate Malts with fruit flavors, before slipping into a bitter finish with a touch of a espresso.

Skip the wordy declarations of undying affection this year -- let Time Goddess do the talking.
