Black Metal Beer Now Available

January 12, 2011

Jester King Craft Brewery, the Austin, Texas-based brewery launched by former attorney Jeffrey Stuffing, has just released its first-ever seasonal beer — Black Metal Imperial Stout, a.k.a. Suds of Northern Darkness, a.k.a. Iron Sword, a.k.a. El Martillo del Muerte.

Black Metal is a cruel and punishing beer fermented by the sheer force of its awesome will. It is Jester King's winter seasonal release. Weighing in at about 10% ABV, it's filled with huge flavors of roast, chocolate, burnt malt and alcohol and carries a hint of leather.

Jester King encourages Black Metal to be enjoyed from a snifter at a serving temperature between 57 and 61 degrees Fahrenheit.

Black Metal is currently available only in kegs. It will be available in 750mL bottles later this winter.

Imperial Stout OG: 1.108 ABV: ~10% IBU: 60 Malt: Maris Otter, Caramalt, Extra Dark Crystal, Brown Malt, Black Malt, Roasted Barley Hops: Magnum, East Kent Goldings
