Technical DetailsStyleStout – Imperial / DoubleABV15.5%OriginUnited States (Alaska)AgingBlend of 1 and 3 year old bourbon barrels (Woodford Reserve double-oaked, Heaven Hill, Willett); finished on Madagascar vanilla beans and raw & toasted coconutTasting Profile4.7UntappdBlessed (June 2026) by Anchorage Brewing Company pours a deep, opaque jet black with virtually no light penetration, topped by a thin mocha-tinted head that settles quickly into a fine ring — a hallmark of this high-gravity imperial stout. On the nose, the aroma is immediately seductive: waves of toasted coconut and Madagascar vanilla lead the way, followed by layers of dark bittersweet chocolate, rich bourbon oak, and a whisper of caramel sweetness that lingers invitingly in the glass. On the palate, the mouthfeel is extraordinarily full and velvety, coating every corner with an almost dessert-like density.The sweetness is lush but never cloying, balanced by a gentle roasted bitterness that grounds the experience. Flavour notes of German chocolate cake, charred oak, burnt caramel, and coconut cream unfold in slow succession, while the bourbon integration is seamless at 15.5% ABV — deceptively smooth for its strength. The finish is long and warming, with vanilla and faint dried fruit notes trailing off elegantly. A beer of extraordinary complexity and cellaring potential.

For a savoury counterpoint, try it alongside a charcuterie board of aged Gruyère, dark chocolate pralines, and smoked almonds — the bourbon-barrel richness elevates every bite.Anchorage Brewing Company Blessed (June 2026)Delivery Switzerland · EU · USA · WorldwideView all rates → Add to CartSecure checkout · Stripe · PayPal · TwintYou May Also LikeA Deal With the Devil – Double Oaked (Batch 11 – 2026) — CHF 129 →Anchorage — Blessed 2025 (december) — CHF 144 →Anchorage Brewing A Deal With the Devil Triple Oaked Batch 1 — CHF 129 →
