As it was with the warships of old, conventional means would only skim the surface. Something of more substance and intent would be necessary to combat the lurking, giant beasts below. In this year's Depth Charge, you will find strong caramel notes alongside dark fruit, vanilla, and biscuit flavours. All met with the sailor's staple of oak and rum. This limited seasonal release will warm your spirits and sink ships -- all at the same time.

The Demon King of Friday is our genie that we managed to get back into the bottle. Initially, we had quite a bit of Minotaur (blackberry sour stout aged in bourbon and wine casks) that didn’t take to bottle conditioning, so we brewed a complimentary beer and blended the beer from the bottles with the new brew in LaPhroaig barrel.

A Pastry Stout is an intentionally sweet stout, often made to mimic a specific dessert. Our Pastry Stout has a high ABV combined with a little sweetness. This is very much a dessert stout with caramel malt, vanilla, and cocoa nib, inspired by cookies. Unlike most pastry stouts, this brew does not contain lactose, making it completely vegan and lactose free.
