Brauhaus Riegele Magnus 19 Edition Rubin Cherry Brandy BA Imperial Stout

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Magnus 19 Edition Rubin pours like liquid midnight, unfurling layers of bittersweet chocolate, dark roasted coffee and deep, jammy cherry drawn from its time resting in Kirschwasser barrels. The barrique character lends nuanced wine-like depth, while toasted oak weaves vanilla and gentle warming spirit through the dense malt body. Notes of cocoa nib, dried fruit and subtle stone-fruit eau-de-vie meet a finish of dark malt bitterness and lingering oak tannin. Complex, contemplative and undeniably warming, this vintage release showcases Riegele’s mastery of patient, handcrafted barrel aging at its most expressive.

Food Pairing

Pair with a rich flourless chocolate torte topped with morello cherry compote to mirror the beer’s chocolate-and-kirsch core. Alternatively, serve alongside aged hard cheeses such as a mature Gouda or Comte, whose nutty, caramelized depth meets the stout’s roasted malt and oak-driven warmth beautifully.
