Sockeye Brewing’s Seven Devils Oak Barrel Aged

Share Post

Seven Devils is Sockeye Brewing’s bold, rich, hefty Imperial Stout.  It fills the head with thick roasted chocolate malt undertones lending to the characteristic sweetness of this style. It is rich with roasted flavors far surpassing normal stouts.  We brew this near the end of  every year to share with friends and family for the holiday gatherings.  Our 2013 batch is now available at our Boise pub and in tap houses all over Idaho.

We transferred a few barrels of this style from our fermentor last winter and let it age in American Oak Jack Daniels barrels for one full year.  This method leaves an essence of bourbon and vanilla on the nose with an ever-present earthy, woody richness. Barrel aging blends the characteristics of the beer with the attributes of high quality woods and the spirits aged within. Sockeye’s Imperial Stout is the perfect beer style to age in a barrel this way. We are now offering 12oz 4-packs of this special Brewer’s Private Reserve.  We think you’ll agree that this sipper will warm you even on the coolest evening.

IBU: 65, ABV: 8.0%

 Come let us satisfy the devil inside with a little sweetness…
