Orpheus Brewing's newest concoction, The 12th Labor, is now available in the tasting room at the brewery. This one isn't for the faint of liver: The imperial stout comes with a whopping 13 percent abv.
The official description of the new brew:
"The 12th Labor is an overpowering 13 percent Imperial Stout with intensely layered flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, smoke, and dark fruit. You'll be lulled to dreams of a distant past you can't quite remember in a world teeming with noise and flesh. With each sip, The 12th Labor is a struggle at the edge of darkness."
That's intense.
Orpheus recommends pairing with bold flavors that can stand up to the beer. Think dried cherries, spaghetti Carbonara, and burnt ends of brisket.
