Tasting Profile

4.6Untappd

Double Barrel Mehndi (2024) from More Brewing Company pours a dense, impenetrable jet-black with a fleeting khaki-hued cap that quickly settles to a razor-thin collar, leaving virtually no lacing on the glass — a visual testament to its viscous, oil-like density. The nose is layered and expressive: heavy roasted malt opens first, followed by waves of dark baker’s chocolate, caramel, toasted oak, and fragrant bourbon barrel tannins that deepen as the beer warms in the glass. On the palate, the mouthfeel is full-bodied and luxuriously creamy, coating every corner with silky chocolate ganache and brownie-crust richness.

Milk chocolate layers meld seamlessly into toasty oak, while notes of molasses, vanilla, anise, and dark brown sugar build complexity across the mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained, acting as a quiet counterweight to the beer’s inherent sweetness. The finish is long and warmly boozy, drying slightly with lingering barrel char and bourbon heat. An extraordinary slow sipper with tremendous cellaring potential, this is a world-class barrel-aged imperial stout from one of Illinois’ most celebrated craft breweries.

Food Pairing

More Brewing Company Double Barrel Mehndi 2024 is a natural companion to an aged Époisses or Comté cheese, where the beer’s bourbon-driven sweetness and rich oak character mirror the cheese’s earthy, caramelised depth. It also pairs magnificently with a dark chocolate fondant or a flourless espresso torte, the bittersweet cocoa amplifying the beer’s baker’s chocolate and vanilla barrel notes for an indulgent, harmonious finish.
