Description:
Oak aged Stout fans rejoice! Fremont Brewing has JUST dropped Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Star (2026)! This legendary annual release consistently collects sky-high ratings and draws crowds of thirsty dark beer lovers to their Seattle taproom.
The cool kids call it BBADS.
This year’s release is a blend of 24, 18, 12, and 8-month old Dark Star aged in 7-12-year old Kentucky bourbon barrels. All that whiskey and wood character accentuates bold chocolate malts, and it’s wrapped up in a silky-smooth 16.4% ABV body thanks to a liberal dose of oats in the mash.
Whiskey-infused cocoa tones dominate the sip accentuated by just a whisper of espresso. Hints of vanilla and caramel add complexity alongside malty tones of dark bread. Let it linger on the palate, and it dissolves into gentle layers of toasted sugar and oak.
If you’ve been on Tavour for a while (or you’ve ever done a brewery tour in the Pacific Northwest) you probably already know how good these beers are. Here’s your opportunity to keep the tradition alive with the latest release.
This year’s BBADS is too new for ratings, but the 2025 release earned a 4.31 rating on Tavour!
