About this beer
This is the 15th of 34 labels we have from Epic Brewing. It is one of 59 barrel-aged stout labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 6 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
A caricatured Mardi Gras figure in a tall feathered headdress dominates the centre of the label, rendered in bold black line-work with inked cross-hatching and accented in green, gold, and purple plumage. The character holds a stein and wears a beaded masquerade mask, flanked by hop and wheat stalks. Fleur-de-lis ornaments scatter across a deep purple background, with the beer name split across the lower third in large gold serif and sans-serif lettering, while a gold repeating header band runs across the top.
From the label“IMPERIAL STOUT AGED IN RYE WHISKEY BARRELS WITH LEMON PEEL The streets of New Orleans are rich with music, mystery, strong pours and voodoo. Inspired by the legendary flavors of the Sazerac cocktail, this rye whiskey barrel aged imperial stout layers velvety depth with citrus zest. Classic and magical, let the Jazz wash over you.”
