A Note on This Beer

This brew is all about the barrels, bub!

To create it, the crew at Standard Brewing blended two righteously flavorful Stouts — one aged for 17 months in Heaven Hill Barrels, and one aged for 18 months in Westland Peated Whiskey Barrels.

The result overflows with flavors of chocolate, coconut, vanilla, and fudge-covered cherries. It swirls with ribbons of oak and lucious dollops of whiskey-caramel. On the finish, a touch of smoky peat comes through, but it’s subtle — just enough to create some earthy complexity that elevates the lingering roasty notes.

There’s a good chance you haven’t tried a Stout from Standard — they’re one of the best kept locals-only secrets in Seattle beer. But, if you share a few drops of this stuff with your Dark Beer loving buddies, this brewery’s Stout prowess won’t stay secret for long.

Standard Brewing is one of Eater’s Best Breweries in Seattle!

You can tell this beer is barrel aged but just barely. I enjoyed it, but would describe it as BBA light.

Not enough barrel. Kind of thin. Decent, but wouldn't buy again

Very light notes of oak, some vanilla but mostly pretty standard imperial stout. Medium body.

Solid stout. Rich with perfectly balanced flavor.

16oz can from Tavour. Aroma is a boozy blend of bourbon and chocolate. Pretty boozy up front in the taste too, sweet chocolate following the sharp alcohol warmth. No adjuncts, just a good old fashioned BBA stout blend.

Excellent stout. Solid barrel taste, not sweet. Perfect

Great Stout here. Slow sipper and low proof makes it easy to drink before bed.

Barrel (and bourbon) dominates front and center. Not balanced as much as I’d want but still very good. Very robust for only 8.5%.

Peat smoke comes through along with barrel char and some cherry sweetness. Drinks at ABV level without any harshness. Finishes sweet as well. Tastes all natural, not adjunct laden.

Dark chocolate, dark malts, and barrel; but flavor is thin and quickly fades. Seem to be a couple of notes missing that leaves the beer incomplete.

A good stout that really does taste as described. The body tastes of dark chocolate cherries with whiskey blended in as well. The peat comes through towards the end and lingers in the aftertaste.

deep robust wood/earth/roast is the prime characteristic that stood out to me. Fits the name quite well.

The barrel on this is pretty weak, thin as well. Other than that it’s still a decent stout
