About this beer
This is the 1st of 3 labels we have from Eredita. It is one of 2 imperial porter labels approved in May 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The brand on the label is Eredita; it was brewed at TWELVE PERCENT LLC in Connecticut.
A talon-wielding bird of prey dominates the upper left in shades of blue and cream, rendered in a painterly style with visible brushwork across feathered wings. Below it crouches a small rodent, also rendered in cool tones, against a dark navy field scattered with pale stars. The beer name spans the center in large white sans-serif capitals, with the Eredita owl-heart mark centered above it. The composition is full-bleed illustration on a nocturnal theme, with regulatory and marketing text occupying the right half and left margin.
From the label“Shadowtalon is the moment before consequence - the space between silence and strike. Some forces move without warning. Some depths reveal themselves only after you're already inside them. Dark malt layers unfold slowly: bittersweet chocolate, roasted grain, and a fullness that settles with quiet authority. At 8.5%, this is a beer that has learned patience, and uses it. The talon finds what it seeks. Brewed with intention. Shared with purpose. Eredita is the Italian translation of the word legacy; Coming from an Italian American family, honoring my heritage is as much about the past as it is the future. Eredita is the actualization of teachings installed within us through life experience, self-cultivation, and most importantly, the values bestowed upon us by our family and friends.”
