Barrel Aged DB 2025 - Imperial Stout
Imperial Stout | 750ml | ABV 12.5%
DB 2025, our deeply cherished annual Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, returns. This year’s release features locally grown Shiraz grapes from our friends at LS Merchants, layered with the unmistakable influence of Settler’s Ridge Port barrels.
An extended 9-month rest, paired with a generous addition of vanilla, has allowed this vintage to evolve into something darker, deeper, and more indulgent than its predecessor. The port barrels bring a fuller, sweeter finish, amplifying rich notes of maraschino cherry, stewed plum, and fortified wine. These sit seamlessly over a base of dusty chocolate and soft vanilla, with vinous depth and warming oak woven throughout.
Retaining the signature elements that make DB so special, this 2025 edition leans lusher, rounder, and more opulent in every sip.
