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."
