Champion Ground from Jackie O's is an ambitious Imperial Stout from Athens, Ohio, aged in bourbon barrels and fortified with coffee from Stauf's Coffee Roasters. The beer was born in 2015 when a barrel-aged stout needed extra character—the brewery added carefully roasted coffee beans to bring balance and depth. The nose reveals rich chocolate, vanilla, and coffee aromatics. The palate is layered: dark chocolate, roasted malts, bourbon warmth, and brown sugar form a full, malt-driven body without excessive sweetness. The finish is dry with roasty, lingering notes. This is a full-bodied, sophisticated stout for those who appreciate bourbon, chocolate, and coffee in one glass.
