The Bruery So Happens It's Tuesday Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels

The Bruery So Happens It's Tuesday Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels.

15.3 % ABV, 22 IBU. The Bruery, Placentia, CA. 


Utterly and apparently black, in all ways, absolute opacity, slim brown head. 

In the nose: ridiculously rich, notes of caramel, cocoa, dark fruit, vanilla. Powerful whiskey notes, anise, smoke. Bourbon begins to conquer the senses. 

In the mouth: Sweetness reigns at first sip, and the mouthfeel is thick, rich, viscous. Massive malt, boisterous bourbon barrel effects, vanilla, cherries, molasses, more. And the booze is ringing in. Intense, vibrant, astonishingly flavorful. Fullest of bodies, richest of flavors, pounding down on the palate, and the high ABV is conquering the mind, as well. 

Whoa. Deep stuff, here. Deep, deep, ..whoa.


Our infamous Black Tuesday® stout is named in honor of the great stock market crash of 1929. So Happens It’s Tuesday is similarly dark and delicious, but in a more affable format, reminding us that there is always a bit of good to be found within the bad. Things happen, life goes on. This beer can be enjoyed in all of those moments and seasons
