Insight Gravity Well Rum Barrel Aged

Insight Gravity Well Imperil Stout. Rum barrel-aged. Insight Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 12 % ABV.  75 IBU.

Growlers of "SpeciaAL Juice" only goes to
Special Als.

Solid blackness, rich brown head that starts strong and ends as a tight ring.

In the nose: Ah, me oh, my. Big richness. Sweet, malty, Cocoa, espresso, anise. Getting the rum barrel action, too.

In the mouth: more big, more rich, more vast and huge. Increasing alcohol. Increasing yum-a-dum-dum. (Remember that one?  I'm still pushing it.) Thick, rich, intensely flavorful, but still deliciously drinkable. Full of everything. Yu-uh-um. In a big way.


With flavors as intense as fine port, Gravity Well boasts aromas of chocolate, toffee, and sherry that meld together with flavors of coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit. Trinidadian rum barrels adds slight cane sugar character that balances the roast of this brew perfectly.
