About this beer

Dark Side of the Pit is a barrel-aged imperial stout from Ginger Road Brewing Company, weighing in at 12.8% ABV. This stout undergoes aging in both cherry brandy and whiskey barrels, imparting complex flavors alongside the base stout profile. The label explicitly notes it’s brewed and canned at Ginger Road Brewing Company in Utica, IL, alongside a warning statement. Flavor notes suggest a rich, dark beer foundation supplemented by the fruitiness of cherry brandy and the oaky character of whiskey, while a hint of ginger is present.

The label itself is predominantly black, with the bold text “DARK SIDE OF THE PIT” dominating the design. Scattered illustrations of cherries and what appear to be stylized flames add a touch of visual flair to the otherwise minimalist aesthetic. “Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout” is indicated below the product name, setting expectations for the beer’s robustness and maturation process.
