About this beer

Empathy is a collaboration between Anchorage Brewing and Hobus Aged Ales, a Double Oaked Imperial Stout brewed with honey. Weighing in at 16.65% ABV, this intensely dark beer was fermented with honey and aged for 24 months in a blend of 15-year Barton Bourbon barrels and 15-year Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels, imparting significant wood character. The flavor profile promises a rich, complex experience, hinting at notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and warming bourbon alongside the subtle sweetness of honey. Crafted from water, malt, and hops, this stout explores the nuanced interplay of barrel aging and carefully selected ingredients.

The label features striking artwork by Wolf Skull Jack, depicting a fragmented, almost spectral face of a gorilla dissolving into swirling dark and light tones, evoking a sense of profound introspection and a touch of wildness. The bold, minimalist title “EMPATHY” dominates the design, emphasizing the thoughtfulness behind this collaboration and the depth of the brew.
