In the shadow of Transylvania, where the vampire myth still lives on, a Romanian brewery makes beer so dark and intense it almost feels fitting. Blackout Brewing is not for anyone wanting a light pilsner.

  • Can of Blackout Brewing A Trip Inside a Separate Mind Maple Bourbon BA Imperial Stout, 33 cl
    Item no.: 2422-197161

    With a name that sounds like a warning from the brewery's own head, Blackout Brewing sends you on a journey into a dense, dark and syrupy stout.

    Expert description of Blackout Brewing A Trip Inside a Separate Mind Maple Bourbon BA Imperial Stout

    A Trip Inside a Separate Mind is a heavy, dark and intensely aged Imperial Stout at 11% from the Romanian brewery Blackout Brewing, where the sweetness from maple syrup and the depth from the bourbon barrels melt together into a dense, dessert-like whole. The beer appears almost black in the glass with a thick, oily structure that already hints at the powerful malt profile and pronounced barrel character.

    The aroma is rich and sweet with distinct notes of maple syrup, dark brown sugar, bourbon vanilla and dark chocolate. Beneath the first layers, roasted malts, caramelised sugar and a light smoky warmth emerge, giving the aroma depth and complexity. The flavour is full-bodied, creamy and almost syrupy - the dark malts deliver cocoa, espresso and molasses, while the round character of the maple sweetness is balanced by the bourbon barrel's warmth, oak and lightly spiced undertones.

    The finish is long, deep and lingering with notes of chocolate, vanilla, toasted oak and a sweet, warm bourbon tail. A beer that invites slow enjoyment and rewards every sip with new nuances.

About Blackout Brewing

Blackout Brewing is a Romanian craft brewery from Cluj-Napoca in Transylvania, known for its powerful, cask-aged stouts, barley wines and porters with depth and character. The brewery works in small batches, often using bourbon, rum or specialty casks, giving the beers high intensity, a thick mouthfeel and complex layers of chocolate, coffee, caramel and oak. The style is bold, dark and boundary-pushing - aimed at enthusiasts seeking powerful craft beers with a clear identity, which has made Blackout Brewing one of the most talked-about names from the Romanian craft beer scene.

History & Background

Blackout Brewing emerged in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania's unofficial capital, as part of the younger generation of Romanian craft breweries that began establishing themselves as the country's beer culture opened up to international styles. Rather than following the many new breweries' focus on hop-forward styles, Blackout Brewing deliberately chose to specialise in cask ageing as their primary approach, drawing inspiration from whisky, rum and wine casks. It's a niche strategy that has given the brewery a distinctive, dark fingerprint in a European craft beer landscape where few go so resolutely for depth and intensity.

Production & Style

Blackout Brewing uses barrel ageing to add complexity and depth to its dark beer styles, often drawing inspiration from whisky, rum, or wine casks.

Signature Style

Dark, Cask-Driven, Complex
The flavour offers a deep, complex character shaped by the barrel ageing, with notes of wood, vanilla, and dark fruit.
