About This Beer
The brewers started with a base of their beloved affogato-inspired Imperial Stout. They aged it for a full 30 months in bourbon barrels, then layered it with a carefully selected chai spice blend, freshly roasted coffee, smooth vanilla, and a touch of lactose.
Tasting Notes
This ‘tea’ comes with a mind-mellowing 16.61% ABV — no traditional Chai can claim a booze bill like that!
But what’s really shocking is the way the spices blend so beautifully with notes of bourbon-caramel, oak, and chocolate flavors from the malts. Fresh espresso comes through on the finish, helping to balance the brew and inviting you back for another sip.

One of my favorite stouts anymore, the most recent batch I had was a bit harsher at 16% versus the first I had at 13% abv. Still I try to snag a bottle when it pops up.
