There are some things in life that simply cannot be rushed. A fine whiskey, a deep friendship, and perhaps most importantly, a truly exceptional barrel-aged stout.

If you’ve been following the Pacific Northwest craft scene, you know that 7 Seas Brewing has mastered the "slow and steady" approach with their annual Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout....

Some people go to breweries to analyze yeast strains and debate IBUs like they’re arguing case law. I go for drinkability, atmosphere, and whether the beer makes me say “oh damn” out loud without meaning to.

That brings us to Maelstrom Brewing… a tiny, unassuming spot that quietly served up two beers that hit very different parts of my soul…

Decided to do some beer fridge cleaning while ripping CDs. Pulled out this almost 4 year old bourbon barrel Kveik stout, and it held up nicely.

A day in the office, a dragon slain!

Top it off with #dragonsMilk Tails Of Gold #bourbonBarrelAged Golden Ale!

Nice bourbon and malt notes on what ends up tasting like a quadruple with no cherry. Sweet finish with a little bite.

Are you feeling the GRAVITY?

#pryesBrewing Lost Moon 2023 #bourbonBarrelAged #ImperialStout pulls you in!

Rich and full bodied, bourbon nose with hints of the sweetness to come. Flavors of dark sugar, vanilla, chocolate, it’s as BIG as the full Moon.

Should’ve bought more, this one has a strong attraction!

What’s the proper Covid booster chaser?

How about a #Founders Backwoods Bastard? #barrelAged, deep amber color, lasting bourbon and malt notes with a sweet boozy finish!

Gosh, my arm doesn’t hurt a bit!

It’ll be #porterFriday instead of #stoutFriday this week!

#oliphantBrewing Amerston Spiral Bug Egg Mask #bourbonBarrelAged #BalticPorter has a ridiculously long name, and a tight wax seal, but it’s worth the effort!

A rich pour in deep black and red tones, the nose is dark fruit, caramel and chocolate. Thick bodied, sweet and pleasantly boozy.

10yr #BourbonBarrelAged cold smoked #cherry #Stout

12% ABV but you wouldn’t know it. Wonderful bourbon-cherry blended notes with a rich body. Hints of chocolate and dark sugars with a smoky finish.
