Verkostungsprofil
The nose opens with assertive bourbon-soaked oak, dark chocolate, and espresso roast, layered with vanilla, caramelized molasses, and a whisper of rye spice. On the palate, this imperial stout delivers viscous waves of bittersweet chocolate, toffee, and roasted malt, while the rye barrel influence contributes warming whiskey notes and subtle peppery complexity. The finish lingers with drying oak tannins, dark fruit undertones, coffee grounds, and a pleasant alcoholic heat that anchors the beer’s decadent richness without overwhelming its nuanced barrel character.
Lebensmittel-Paarung
Pair with a bourbon-glazed pork belly or smoked brisket burnt ends where the charred, caramelized crust mirrors the beer’s roasted intensity and barrel sweetness. Alternatively, serve alongside a dark chocolate torte with sea salt and candied pecans—the dessert’s bitterness and textural contrast harmonize beautifully with the stout’s molasses depth and warming alcohol.
About 2nd Shift Brewing
2nd Shift Brewing was founded in 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri, by Steve Crider and Libby Crider. The brewery takes its name from Steve’s experience working second shift at the Anheuser-Busch brewery while developing his craft beer vision during off-hours. Operating from their facility in New Madrid, a historic riverfront building in the city’s industrial corridor, 2nd Shift has become known for producing bold, innovative beers that push boundaries while respecting traditional brewing methods.
The brewery’s approach centers on creating adventurous, flavor-forward beers with particular emphasis on hoppy ales and experimental styles. Their portfolio ranges from well-executed IPAs to creative seasonal releases that showcase unusual ingredients and techniques. 2nd Shift has gained recognition within the American craft beer community for their willingness to take risks and their commitment to quality across both their year-round offerings and limited releases. The brewery has established itself as a significant voice in Missouri’s craft beer scene, helping to elevate St. Louis’s reputation beyond its macro-brewing heritage while contributing to the city’s growing community of independent craft brewers.
