Stone Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout is a limited edition Imperial Stout that opposes racial injustice in the US. Stone joined Weathered Souls Brewing, a black-owned brewery in Texas, as well as other craft breweries across the nation in releasing Black is Beautiful beer. This Stout starts with a base recipe from Weathered Souls and then adds pecans, flaked rye and was partially aged in bourbon barrels. This results in flavors of rich dark chocolate character with a silky mouthfeel from the oats. The oak and bourbon barrel character adds sweetness, caramel flavors and an oak complexity. The ABV for this Stout is 10%.

Beer Reviews:
Tobin’s Review 4 out of 5
Stone Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout is a pitch black beer with a small caramel head. The beer has aromas of light toffee with a sweet chocolate flavor. You can taste the high alcohol content in the beer, but it is slowly bittered out and ends with a dark chocolate flavor. This is a good well balanced beer that supports a great cause!
