Black Friday at Riverlands - Barrel-Aged Bottle Release

TWO NEW BARREL-AGED STOUTS FOR BLACK FRIDAY

Black Friday is here once again, and with it…two new big, thick, yummy, barrel-aged stouts are coming your way. Here’s everything you need to know to score your bottles, try them on tap, and have a fantastic break from holiday shopping.

THE BEERS:

Black Friday Bottles Releases at Riverlands Brewing in St. Charles Illinois

1) Tranquil Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
Dark as midnight and rich as all get-out, Tranquil is our new, non-adjuncted barrel-aged stout. With this beer, we wanted to let the barrels really shine without any additional sweetness from adjuncts. A blend of imperial stout aged for 22 months in Buffalo Trace and 16 months in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, this stout is everything we’ve dreamed of brewing since long before Riverlands opened. 22oz bottles, 14.5% ABV, $25 per bottle, limit two per person.

2) Barrel-Aged Gravity Void Imperial Stout
Perhaps you recall our original Gravity Void imperial stout? We took our rich imperial stout base and added hazelnut, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon to create a truly delicious pastry stout. Aged in a blend of 22 month Buffalo Trace and 16 month Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, the result is a boozy concoction of lush waves of chocolate with wonderful notes of hazelnut and cinnamon. 22oz bottles, 14.5% ABV, $25 per bottle, limit two per person.
