Brewed as part of a global collaborative project started by Weathered Souls Brewing in San Antonio, Texas, Black is Beautiful is a blended imperial stout that is comprised of 55% fresh imperial oatmeal stout brewed to the recipe provided by Weathered Souls, 30% Parabola aged in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels for 12 months, and 15% Velvet Merkin aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for 14 months. The resulting stout is decadent and intense, with notes of s'mores, bourbon, and toasted nuts.
