Black Damnation XXX: Sjovoev is the thirtieth instalment in Struise Brouwers' legendary Black Damnation series from East Flanders. This commanding imperial stout at 13% ABV has spent a full year maturing in bourbon barrels from Versailles, a choice that shapes its entire character. Deep and uncompromising, with coffee and cocoa at its core, anchored by bourbon warmth and oak spice. The bitterness runs to 72 IBU, sharpening the roasted, smoky edge without overwhelming the palate. Sweetness and bitterness sit in genuine balance here—neither dominates, both enhance. A beer for those who seek dark, mature flavours and welcome the heat of high alcohol and the grip of spent bourbon wood.
