HELL BEAR
Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Peppers - 12.0% ABV

Tasting Notes: Rich Dark Chocolate – Vanilla – Depths of Hell

*Silver Medal Award Winner - US Open Beer Championship 2023*

We invite you to the gates of Werk Force. The 2025 variant of our award winning Hell Bear features a blend of Sleepy Bear aged in both Buffalo Trace Mash #2 and Willett bourbon barrels. Once extracted from the barrels we rested this chocolate bomb on Carolina Reaper, Chocolate Scorpion and Brain Strain peppers as well as roasted cacao nibs and Madagascar vanilla. The end result is a perfect harmony of rich fudgy goodness with a touch of heat and smooth vanilla that make you come back for more. A great balance of notes between the layers of flavor hell-town. Welcome to the world of Hell Bear!

Available 10/25/25 on draft and 375mL Bottles to-go.
