Captain Blackbird is an Imperial Vanilla Stout from Bird Brewery in Amsterdam, brewed to celebrate the brewery's tenth anniversary. This ambitious beer combines deep roasted malt character with subtle vanilla and is offered in multiple variants, including versions matured on bourbon and rum barrels.

The beer presents with a full, creamy body and aromas of dark chocolate, espresso and caramel. The vanilla is elegantly integrated without dominating. At 10% ABV, Captain Blackbird offers a warming finish with a soft, lingering aftertaste that feels complex and indulgent.

The barrel-aged variants add extra layers: bourbon maturation brings warm oak and vanilla tones, while the rum version adds woody accents and rum warmth. A beer for lovers of intense, rich stouts.
