Verkostungsprofil

The nose opens with waves of bourbon-soaked dark chocolate, vanilla bean, and toasted oak, layered over espresso and dark fruit compote. On the palate, this imperial stout delivers luxurious viscosity with flavors of baker’s chocolate, molasses, and charred oak giving way to bourbon warmth, dried fig, and caramelized sugar. The extended barrel aging has woven the spirit influence seamlessly into the base beer’s roasted malt backbone. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dark cocoa, vanilla custard, and subtle oak tannins that balance the residual sweetness.

Lebensmittel-Paarung

Pair with a dense chocolate fondant or bourbon pecan pie, where the beer’s barrel character and roasted malt complexity echo the dessert’s richness while the alcohol warmth cuts through sweetness. Alternatively, serve alongside aged Comté or Manchego cheese with dark chocolate shavings, allowing the nutty, caramelized notes to harmonize with the stout’s layered profile.

About Perennial Artisan Ales

Perennial Artisan Ales operates from a historic building in St. Louis, Missouri’s industrial Carondelet area, a structure with deep roots in American manufacturing history. The facility began life in 1920 as the Temtor Fruit & Products Company factory, designed by architect Harry G. Clymer for his cousin Milton G. Clymer, who had founded the Best-Clymer Manufacturing Company in 1913 to produce preserves. The building was strategically positioned with direct rail access via a spur from the nearby Missouri Pacific Railroad. In 1937, Coca-Cola acquired the property and converted it into a syrup plant to serve the Midwest region, operating under the direct control of their Atlanta headquarters to protect their secret formula. For five decades, this facility produced concentrate that was shipped to independent Coca-Cola bottling franchisees throughout the region. After Coca-Cola closed the plant in 1988, the National Register of Historic Places recognized the building’s architectural and industrial significance. Today, this same structure that once housed generations of beverage production continues its legacy as home to Perennial Artisan Ales, carrying forward St. Louis’s proud tradition of crafting distinctive drinks.
