Fremont Brewing's Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Star: Coffee Cacao Vanilla is an Imperial Stout built on roasted malt and chocolate character, deepened by extended time in American bourbon barrels. This blend combines Dark Star aged for 8 to 24 months in 7–12-year-old Kentucky bourbon casks, which layer vanilla and oak notes over a foundation of roasted grain and smooth oats.

The brewery mills roasted barley, crystal malt, chocolate and Carafa-2 malts with flaked oats and a blend of Columbus, Willamette and Cascade hops. Coffee, cacao and vanilla additions round out the profile, creating a sweet, lingering finish that complements the beer's creamy grain base.

This is a full-bodied, warming stout suited to rich desserts, roasted meats and assertive cheeses.
