Brouwerij Emelisse's Roaring Raisin is an ambitious barrel-aged stout that spent three years maturing in bourbon casks. At 14.9% ABV, this beer delivers a full, complex experience centred on raisin character and bourbon influence.

The nose reveals hints of raisins and dark berries, supported by vanilla and oak notes from the bourbon aging. On the palate, a full body emerges with dark fruit tones, roasted malt, and a warming alcohol presence that carries through the finish.

This is a stout for those who appreciate mature, barrel-aged craftsmanship—not everyday drinking, but certainly rewarding for those seeking depth and complexity.
