With a whooping 12.7 percent alcohol content, the aged stout is a powerful brew. The brewing company created the Russian stout using coffee as an inspiration. The [Vietnamese coffee-inspired imperial Russian stout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-stout) is aged until maturity in Bourbon casks. The casks are infused with [vanilla pods and coffee beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vault-city-dubaistyle-chocolate-pistachio) to provide a rich and thick stout with a hint of sweetness. The brew will carry heavy notes of "vanilla, rich espresso, smooth molasses and bitter chocolate with a spicy, oaked underpinning." Titled 'Black Eyed King Imp,' this strong beer is set to hit shelves in mid-October in 330 milliliter cans. While traditional beers average at about 5 or 6 percent, this 12.7 beer might be worth the $10 per can cost. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Strong Beer Trend:** Development of beers with higher alcohol content for adventurous drinkers who are always on the lookout for something new and exciting. - **Flavor-infused Beers Trend:** Innovation in beer with unique flavors and ingredients, like coffee, to appeal to consumers looking for a unique, flavorful experience. - **Luxury Canned Beer Trend:** Demand for premium canned beers offering quality flavors, unusual ingredients, and high alcohol content to cater to the changing tastes of consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beer Production Industry:** Exploring and utilizing unique and bold ingredients like coffee to attract craft beer enthusiasts and compete in the industry. - **Canned Beverage Industry:** Development of premium canned beer offerings to provide a convenient and practical drinking experience, especially for outdoor and on-the-go activities. - **Beverage Retail Industry:** Investing in the sales of craft beers with unique flavors and higher alcohol content to meet consumers' preference for unique and exciting drinking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrelaged-imperial-stouts.md) - [Bold Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrelaged-stout.md) - [Robustly Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrel-aged-imperial-stout.md) - [Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-barrelaged-stout.md) - [Collaboration Coffee Stout Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewdog-x-grind-coffee-stout.md) - [Colossally Flavored Imperial Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colossally-flavored-imperial-stouts.md) - [Colossal Strong Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strong-ale.md) - [Festive Coffee-Inspired Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-stout-latte.md) - [Barrel-Aged Milk Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrelaged-milk-stout.md)
