The Romanian brewery Blackout Brewing never compromises - Extra Entropy is a beer for those who want maximum intensity in every single sip.
Expert description of Blackout Brewing Extra Entropy Maple Bourbon BA Imperial Stout
Extra Entropy is a massive, dark and deeply layered Imperial Stout at 11% from Blackout Brewing in Romania, aged on bourbon barrels and infused with maple syrup. The beer combines the brewery's uncompromising style with a heavy, dessert-like profile, brewed for those who love intensity, barrel ageing and complex flavour layers.
The aroma is immediately heavy and sweet with distinct notes of maple syrup, bourbon vanilla and dark chocolate. Beneath the first layers you find roasted malts, burnt caramel and a deep, almost syrupy sweetness. The flavour is full-bodied, thick and oily - almost like a liquid dessert, where maple and bourbon barrels give a pronounced sweetness balanced by bittersweet cocoa, espresso and dark caramelised sugar layers.
The finish is long, deep and lingering with notes of chocolate, toasted oak and a sweet, warm bourbon tail. Extra Entropy is made for stout enthusiasts seeking maximum intensity and complexity.
