Lervig Rackhouse Stoutella – Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Hazelnut Imperial Stout

Lervig Rackhouse Stoutella is an intense and luxurious imperial stout from the exclusive Rackhouse series. Dark chocolate, roasted hazelnuts and warm bourbon notes come together in a rich beer that almost feels like liquid dessert. The result is a powerful stout with impressive depth and a silky smooth texture.

Aged for a full 13 months in bourbon barrels, the stout’s rich malt profile has developed complex aromas of vanilla, caramel and oak. Barrel aging adds a warm and rounded character that enhances the natural chocolate and hazelnut flavors.

Stoutella is made for those who love big and decadent stout experiences. The combination of roasted malts, nuts and bourbon creates an intense flavor profile where sweetness, depth and warmth are perfectly balanced. The high alcohol content of 13% also provides a pleasant warmth that makes it ideal for slow enjoyment.

The Rackhouse series is Lervig’s dedicated range of cask-aged beers. Here, the brewery works with longer maturation and carefully selected casks to create some of Europe’s most complex stout experiences.
