Peppermint? Overdone. Evergreen? See you next year. In my opinion, the reigning empress of wintery flavors is salted caramel, and today’s 12.5% ABV Double Pastry Stout delivers it deliciously. 

The masterful team at Birds Fly South brings modern methods to old world style brews. Today that comes in the form of rich caramel sweetness that sings atop their deep, chocolatey Imperial Stout base!

But Empress Rising: Salted Caramel isn’t cloyingly sweet — a balancing dose of salt adds complexity and depth to the brew. Every sip is like a bite of a dark chocolate truffle filled with creamy caramel and topped with sea salt flakes. 

Fans are calling it a “mouthful of deliciousness,” “caramel perfection,” and “liquid dessert!” 

Brews from Birds Fly South don’t fly across South Carolina state lines often, so if you want a taste of this Stout fit for royalty, you’d better act fast!
