More Brewing Co. Triple Barrel Mehndi 2026 Imperial Stout

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Triple Barrel Mehndi (2026) is the most ambitious expression yet of More Brewing Company’s celebrated Mehndi imperial stout program, hailing from Villa Park, Illinois. In the glass, it pours an impenetrable jet-black with a thin, mocha-hued collar that clings to the rim with the viscous authority of a beer that has spent years in wood. The nose is an assertive, layered experience: waves of dark chocolate and cocoa powder give way to vanilla oak, sweet bourbon caramel, and a subtle undercurrent of dried dark fruit — fig, prune, and a whisper of leather.

On the palate, the mouthfeel is full-bodied and almost syrupy, with modest carbonation that amplifies the beer’s silky density. Sweetness arrives first — brown sugar, toffee, and fudge brownie — before the triple barrel character reasserts itself with a warming bourbon heat, cedar spice, and roasted barley. The finish is long and warming, with lingering vanilla and oak tannins that fade gracefully. This is a beer built for the cellar as much as the glass, rewarding patience.

Food Pairing

Triple Barrel Mehndi 2026 finds its ideal companion in a dark chocolate ganache tart with salted caramel — the bittersweet cocoa amplifies the stout’s layered barrel character while sea salt lifts the vanilla notes. For a savoury counterpoint, pair with an aged Comté or Gruyère: the nutty, crystalline cheese bridges the bourbon-oak warmth and rich malt backbone of this More Brewing imperial stout beautifully.
