My latest article for The Bulletin, which came out last week on Leap Day (the bonus day!), features Immersion Brewing and two recent specialty stouts released by the brewery: Meraki and Onism. Both are blended, barrel-aged stouts, with Meraki a blend of stout and barleywine and Onism a blend of several stouts.

Immersion Brewing Co. released two specialty barrel-aged beers this month, both imperial-strength blended stouts aged in bourbon barrels. Since it’s the tail end of Stout Month, I couldn’t resist the lure of highlighting two more stouts to finish the month with a flourish.

Immersion is perhaps best known for its IPAs and growing lineup of lagers, but don’t overlook other styles; last year the brewery won its first medal at the Great American Beer Festival for a fruited sour ale. The two latest releases, Meraki and Onism, are available on draft and in cans as part of Immersion’s Barrel-Aged Series. I acquired a can of each to drink and review.

Something to note: the background I gave on Meraki was that it was a collaboration between Immersion and Beer Zombies Brewing, but found out afterward that in fact Onism is the collab. So, that’s wrong in the article.

Otherwise, these are available in cans from Immersion and worth your time!
