Paradox Jura
Ubiquitous Imperial Stout.
Paradox. Reloaded. In 2011 we put Paradox into high gear to create an Imperial Stout destined for ageing. Loaded with dark roasted malts for a full bodied, toasted background, an array of bitter, earthy and resinous hops, and brewed with oats for a bold mouthfeel. This beer is the perfect canvas for barrel ageing.

Allow the fermentation to go as far as possible. Soak oak chips in whisky to get the barrel aged characteristic.
