About S.T.E.V.E. Imperial Stout

Embark on a cosmic journey with S.T.E.V.E., where the night sky’s magic meets the alchemy of barrel-aged brewing. S.T.E.V.E., born from the celestial ribbons coined by Alberta skywatchers as Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, isn’t just a beer; it’s an atmospheric phenomenon in a bottle.

A blend of 15-month bourbon barrel-aged and 3-month stainless-aged imperial stouts, patiently bottle-aged for 2.5 years, S.T.E.V.E. is the embodiment of celestial wonders and brewery artistry. This beer transcends its roots as our Desperate Measures imperial stout, evolving with barrel aging into a symphony of dark chocolate, black licorice, vanilla, oak, and a hint of red wine.

Crafted with English Maris Otter, Alberta Munich, and Biscuit malts, plus a touch of Belgian Special B, S.T.E.V.E. is a cosmic dance through malt complexity. Deceptively smooth at 10.4% ABV, it defies its strength, offering a full-bodied experience that has mellowed and deepened since its 2020 bottling.

Bottle conditioning and natural carbonation ensure this beer ages gracefully, making every sip a journey through time. Perfectly paired with Cave-Aged Gouda, Wagyu Beef Tartare, or Dark Chocolate Truffles, S.T.E.V.E. elevates your cosmic experience. Under the stars, with S.T.E.V.E. in hand, some discoveries are meant to be savored.
