About this episode

The episode features a tasting of classic imperial stouts, focusing on De Struise Black Damnation II Mocha Bomb and Avery Uncle Jacob's Stout.

Time to knock some dust off some bottles. Martin deep dived into his cellar to bring out some classic beers. First up is De Struise Black Damnation II Mocha Bomb from 2018. We remember when Black Damnation bottles were all the rave for beer nerds so this really took us back. Black Damnation II Mocha Bomb is a 13% ABV Russian imperial stout matured on bourbon barrels. We discovered that Russian imperial stouts hold up better than most to long term storage because of the lack of adjuncts. Can this go the distance?@averybrewing used to put out the highest ABV beers around 10 years ago. Since then Avery has disappeared from the shelves in Sweden but thankfully we have a few remnants of the past. Uncle Jacob's Stout from 2016 is a 17.1% ABV imperial stout aged for 6 months on "the very finest bourbon barrels." #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #russianimperialstout
