Darkness is a beer of fable and legend. Malty and intense, yet velvety smooth. This special edition of our massive Russian imperial stout matured in Elijah Craig 12-year bourbon barrels and brings waves of chocolate, vanilla, dried fruit, and cherry flavors, enhanced by the oaky spice the barrel and its previous occupant.
This year's package is designed by 2022 Surly Darkness Artist Eddy Wolfe.

Just beware that allowing this to warm too much will bring about a boozyness to it. Prior to reaching that point, the 12% was pretty well hidden within the chocolate, cherry/ raisin, coffee flavors.

Final beer to celebrate my son being born.
Bourbon, chocolate and dark fruits in the aroma. Taste has chocolate, bourbon, dark fruits and light oak. There's a bit of sweetness that might be coming from the dark fruits, but I'm not sure.
The body is almost full bodied with low carbonation.
It's not something I seek out, but it's enjoyable. Glad I picked this up earlier this year. High 4.25/5
