The Festive After Dark

About this beer

A rich and decadent Barrel Aged Double Stout from Turning Point Brew Co, created as an indulgent seasonal release for enjoying after dark. The Festive After Dark is a 7.5% ABV stout that combines a freshly brewed Double Stout with carefully matured barrel-aged stout selected from the brewery's own reserves. This blending approach brings together the substantial character of a strong dark beer with the additional depth developed through barrel ageing, creating a distinctive festive release. The brewery describes the result as delicious and decadent, with the barrel-aged component providing an important part of the beer's identity. Brewed using barley, oats, lactose, hops and yeast, the stout brings together a substantial grain bill and a milk-derived ingredient within its rich dark beer composition. Rather than being presented as a conventional standalone barrel-aged release, The Festive After Dark showcases the brewery's approach to blending mature stout with another Double Stout, allowing the characteristics of both components to contribute to the finished beer. At 7.5% ABV, it offers a stronger and more indulgent seasonal drinking experience than a traditional porter or everyday stout. Available in a 440ml can, this festive release is suitable for vegetarians but not vegans because it contains lactose derived from milk.
