Deth's Tar
Imperial Oatmeal Stout aged in bourbon barrels
A prolonged repose in bourbon-soaked American oak barrels adorns a dark chocolate profile with notes of toasted coconut and vanilla. A rich, supple texture belies the unholy power of our Imperial Oatmeal Stout.
Alc. by vol. – 14.8%
Café Deth
Imperial Oatmeal Stout aged in bourbon barrels and steeped with fresh coffee beans
Fresh whole-bean coffee from Chicago's own Dark Matter Coffee stirs the senses in this barrel-aged Imperial Oatmeal stout. Haunting aromatics of roast and dried fruit enter the realm of toasted walnut and rich chocolate.
Alc. by vol. – 14.8%
Deth by Currants (2022)
Imperial Oatmeal Stout with currants aged in bourbon barrels
The otherworldly resonance of black currants adds a vivid new frequency to Deth's Tar. Notes of chocolate, vanilla, and graham extracted from bourbon barrels reverberate with lively tartness and juicy sweetness.
Alc. by vol. – 14.1%
DRaft Variants
Our Barrel team builds these special draft-only release variants to pour exclusively at our Deep Wood Series releases. They’re only available at our Taproom, so please join us on October 14 to try:
Deth’s Gnar (13.1%)
Young sweet component Deth’s Tar aged in Malört barrels. It’s not as bad as you think.
Supermassive Café V.S.O.D. — Single Barrel (14.3%)
Following a three-year nap in a single Buffalo Trace Mash #1 bourbon barrel, this Deth’s Tar sweet component gets the “big dumb” coffee treatment we could all use after a long repose. With ten pounds of Freshly Roasted® Dark Matter cocoa-fermented Catuai coffee in this single barrel, it’s sure to put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.
Barrel no. 3552 (14.5%)
This three-year-matured sweet component Deth’s Tar presents powerful dark honey, ripe fig, and aged oak aromas from the extended repose. A dive into this bottomless obsidian well summons delectable notes of dried fruit, chocolate ganache, praline, and those graham crackers shaped like teddy bears. Truly, the magic within barrels is vast and unknowable.
Destroyed by the Empire (15.6%)
After four years in heavily toasted Woodford Double Oaked barrels, this micro-lot of Deth’s Tar Imperial Oatmeal Stout hits the palate like an oaky superlaser blast from the vacuous ether. Each sip starts as a wave of concentrated malt-derived chocolate and graham before rapidly yielding to a lumberous overlord cloaked in cherry & vanilla.
