Belching Beaver All In Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (500ml)

A super rich pastry stout aged for a year and infused with maple syrup, coffee and vanilla. A masterpiece celebrating the 8th anniversary of the company's founding.

The brewing team at Belching Beaver was trying to come up with a special beer to celebrate their 8th anniversary.

Barrel maestro Peter has been brewing this super rich pastry stout with plenty of roasted malt and brown sugar and filling it into Cutwater bourbon barrels.

It was a huge feat to age this beer for a year before employees secretly drank it, but once the aging period was complete, maple syrup, coffee, and vanilla were added.

The woody aroma from the bourbon barrels and the character of maple syrup combine with the wonderful aroma of coffee, and the gentle sweetness of the stout brings the overall flavor together.

We would love to toast to our 8th anniversary with this beer.

[About beer naming] I met Troy eight years ago at a poker tournament over home-brewed beer at the home of Belching Beaver founder Thomas.

Later, when Thomas decided to start a brewery, he and co-founder Dave approached Troy.

The new brewery's policy is to "make the best beer for everyone.

And our goal is for people to have the best time while drinking it."

I further hit Troy with a provocative phrase I often use during poker: "No Guts, No Glory," to which he replied, "Then I'll go all in!" (betting all the chips I have).

They quickly quit their jobs, Thomas and Dave emptied their bank accounts for start-up capital, and Troy started making amazing beer.

Belching Beaver really started off "All in."
