Monday Night Brewing's Barrel-Aged Stout. Label approved 10 November 2026; not spotted yet.
Stronger than 76% of the 662 Barrel-Aged Stout labels we've read.
From the label“From the darkest corner of our barrel-aging room, the Shadow King returns, a double barrel-aged imperial rye stout. Its reign began with twenty months in bourbon barrels, where it grew dark and powerful. It then spent twelve more months in honey barrels, where it took on a crown of gold. With no adjuncts and nowhere to hide, Shadow King is deeply rich, with notes of dark wildflower honey, charred oak, and a rye spice that lingers long after the glass is empty.”
