DARK CHARGE BOX SET
DOSCHER'S CANDIES VANILLA FRENCH CHEW

Nostalgia in a glass!

We’ve teamed up with local candy maker Doscher’s to craft this unique Dark Charge variant. This creamy, bourbon barrel-aged stout is infused with the nostalgic aromas and flavors of Doscher’s French Chew.

Rich chocolate and roasted malt notes blend perfectly with the smooth, vanilla sweetness of the iconic taffy. The bourbon barrel’s oaky undertones enhance the stout’s complexity, resulting in a delightful, vanilla-forward experience.

Flavor Highlights

• Infused with the flavors of Doscher’s French Chew taffy

• Notes of rich chocolate, roasted malt, and smooth vanilla

• Oaky undertones from bourbon barrel aging

Pair it with two pieces of the classic taffy that inspired this creation for the ultimate treat.

Available for PICK-UP ONLY in our Covington Taproom during the 2024 Dark Charge Winter Block Party on Saturday, December 7th, 2024, from 11 AM to 11 PM.

DARK CHARGE BOX SET
Graeter's Chip Set

The Dark Charge Graeter’s Chip Set brings together two Cincinnati icons for a trio of limited-edition barrel-aged stouts: Black Raspberry Chip, Toffee Chip, and Mocha Chip.

Inspired by Graeter’s legendary ice cream, each variant blends the rich character of Dark Charge with the classic ingredients used in Graeter's Ice Cream. Celebrating bold flavors and quality craftsmanship, this set offers a decadent, dessert-inspired twist on our iconic Imperial Stout.

Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip

• Made with the same black raspberry puree used in Graeter’s ice cream, blending roasted malt, sweet-tart raspberries, and chocolate chips, and finished with bourbon's oak notes for a nostalgic twist.

Toffee Chocolate Chip

• Features the buttery richness of toffee and smooth chocolate, combined with bold roastiness and bourbon’s oaky warmth for a decadent, dessert-inspired treat.

Mocha Chocolate Chip

• Bold coffee notes meet creamy chocolate sweetness, enhanced by bourbon barrel aging for depth and warmth to create a velvety, dessert-like experience.

Available for PICK-UP ONLY in our Covington Taproom during the 2024 Dark Charge Winter Block Party on Saturday, December 7th, 2024, from 11 AM to 11 PM.
