Decadent and bold, this bourbon-barrel-aged imperial milk stout finished on vanilla beans and cocoa nibs. This ongoing collaboration commemorates our 10th anniversary and the 44th season of the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, honoring our shared vision of bringing people together to enjoy creativity and community.
This edition of Showstopper is a blend of imperial milk stouts aged in Elijah Craig 8-year bourbon barrels and then finished on a healthy dose of vanilla beans from Singing Dog Vanilla and a blend of cocoa nib varietals from Chocolate Alchemy, including Dominican Republic Zorzal, Uganda Semuliki Forest, and Vanuatu Malekula Island. Only available at our tasting room and at the Hult Center. Look for Showstopper at your next Hult Center show – it’s the perfect theater sipper, if we do say so ourselves!

Using bourbon barrels from Kentucky, we age rich, malt-forward beers to incorporate complex flavors of bourbon, toasted oak, coconut and vanilla. This collection includes a mix of stouts and strong ales, hand-selected from our cellar. Bottles will be selected from current inventory and do not match photo. Feel free to request specific bottles in the notes - we will do our best to fulfill your requests if they are available, but cannot guarantee it.
