Did you know that a group of sharks is called a shiver? Talk about appropriate. I definitely shivered the last time I encountered a shark, and we were separated by aquarium glass.  

Just the thought of it gives me the heebie-jeebies! 

Fortunately, one 10.5% ABV sip of today’s boldly flavorful Shiver Imperial Stout is all it takes to settle me from head to toe. 

Dark chocolate greets upfront on the nose and the tongue, followed swiftly with silky, fresh-ground espresso notes. Undertones of hazelnut and vanilla come naturally with the real coffee the Bombastic Brewing team uses to craft this dark pour. 

Every mouthful is totally grounding, with the booziness only making itself known through emanating pleasant warmth.

But, before you get too relaxed, be sure to stock up. If there’s one thing to actually shiver about, it’s that Bombastic doesn’t have a taproom, and their releases often sell out through pre-order!
