About This Beer

The Alpha Acid team created this hyper-limited variant of their Barrel Constrictor Imperial Stout specifically for San Francisco Beer Week 2022! Most of the batch sold out in pre-sales, and the remaining bottles vanished from the taproom as soon as they were released. To make it, the brewers used real cacao nibs and Tahitian vanilla to accentuate the whiskey caramel notes from 13 months in Henry Mckenna bourbon barrels, a specialty label produced by Heaven Hill Distillery.

Tasting Notes

It’ll entangle your taste buds in coils of rich, fudgy flavor from real cacao nibs and smooth creamy Tahitian vanilla. A whopping 13 months in Henry Mckenna bourbon barrels add flickering hints of oak, caramel, and whiskey. The thick body totally hides the massive 14% ABV so well, you won’t even notice it until it wraps you up.
