The Hollows When We Became the Violence

Overview

At 15.2% ABV, this stout from The Hollows sits firmly among the heavyweights of the style — a beer meant for slow, deliberate sipping rather than quick drinking.

Tasting Notes

Expect a dark, concentrated stout where the high alcohol content is clearly present: full body, a warming finish, and the depth typical of beers at this strength. Specific tasting notes haven't been shared by the brewery, but the character of a big stout takes center stage.

Brewery

The Hollows is a new Netherlands brewery founded by American brewer Jason Pellett, who previously ran Orpheus Brewing and now brews small batches of big beers in Amsterdam together with his wife, Leslie Campbell, with no compromises on ingredients.

Serving

Serve around 12-14°C in a tulip glass or snifter to fully appreciate the intensity of this stout.
