A Note on This Beer

Splinters is a craft titan — it’s ranked the #12 Scotch Heavy Ale in the World on BeerAdvocate!

To craft it, Black Raven started with their North American Beer Award-winning Scotch Ale. Then, they elevated it ever further, aging that beloved dark brew in various Kentucky-sourced bourbon barrels for 8 months.

After all the aging, the brewers blended the batches back together, forming this complex, boozy sipper!

On the pour, rich cacao, toffee, and dark fruit notes waft from the rim. Creamy caramel blends with oak and whiskey spice flavors that oh-so-smoothly mask the mighty 10.8% ABV. Gentle touches of malt remain after the taste, settling in belly-warming bliss.

Stash this one in your beer fridge or cellar, and impress your dark beer friends with a world class pour!

Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Black Raven Brewing Company is certified independent by the Brewers Association

one of the best scotch ales I’ve ever had. Incredibly balanced as if it had been cellared for years.

Very well balanced scotch ale with a nice matured whiskey barrel aged flavor. Well crafted. I'd say it's in the top 2ish scotch ales I've had

Light dried fruit notes and caramel. Malts are overly subtle for the brew.

On the sweet side big time. Not really getting any barrel. Alcohol not noticeable. I guess I’m just not a fan of the style.
