MugiWhat?! Stout is that dark, rich beer, right? Adding three berries makes this one seriously busy glass!
Hop BroIt combines blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry, then ages the beer in Nagahama whisky barrels. That is a very fun move.
MugiWhat does barrel-aged mean? The beer takes a nap in a wooden barrel? A beer bedtime ritual?
Hop BroThat is actually close! The barrel lends whisky-like aromas and complexity. In brewer speak, that is barrel-derived character.
MugiNice! But an imperial stout sounds extra heavy. Can the berries really hold their own against it?
Hop BroThat is the point: deep roasted-malt richness and a weighty body meet bright berry acidity, creating a rich yet layered profile.
MugiDark beer, whisky barrel, and fruity sour notes in one glass? That sounds like a flavor summit meeting!
Hop BroExactly—and it is best enjoyed slowly, noticing how it changes as it warms. With dessert, it could be a slow-sipping finale.

Two Rabbits Brewing Company, based in Omihachiman, Shiga, is offering its IMPERIAL STOUT TRIPLE BERRY.
The beer starts with a robust imperial stout and is aged in whisky barrels previously used by Nagahama Distillery in Shiga. The barrel aging adds depth and a layered character to the stout’s already substantial body.
Its defining feature is the use of three berries: blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry. Rich roasted malt and barrel-derived complexity are balanced by bright fruit acidity, creating a profile that is full-bodied without becoming one-dimensional.
The beer brings together elements of an intense stout, a barrel-aged ale, and a fruit-forward sour. It is suited to slow sipping, allowing the flavors to develop in the glass, and could also pair well with desserts or serve as an after-dinner pour.
Prices range from ¥880 for an individual item to ¥5,280 for the two available variants. Based in Omihachiman, Two Rabbits Brewing Company is known for producing a wide range of craft beer styles while exploring distinctive ingredient combinations and aging techniques. This release presents that approach through a rich, fruit-accented imperial stout.
