About this beer
This is the 83rd of 146 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. It is one of 21 pastry stout labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 2 days after it was submitted. The label carries imperial on the front.
A sasquatch figure dominates the left side of the label, rendered in heavy pen-and-ink linework with blue and cream accents, holding a towering stack of pancakes that drips with syrup. The creature's exaggerated grin and wide eyes occupy the upper left quadrant, while the stacked pancakes extend downward and rightward, creating a focal point that anchors the composition. The background is solid brown, with the brewery name and beer style positioned above and to the right in cream-coloured sans-serif type. Additional design elements—a smaller pancake stack icon and a crossed-axes emblem—appear on the right side of the label alongside product information.
