Elder Piper Beer & Cider's Deep Winter Imperial Stout

Bottoms Up

By Anna Faller | Feb. 14, 2026

If you ask us, February is all about layers: layers of snow, layers of warm socks and sweaters, and in the case of seasonal libations, layers of flavor. So, we’re suiting up with a beverage that checks every box: the Deep Winter Imperial Stout from Elder Piper Beer & Cider in Petoskey. Featuring the bittering balance of Roast & Toast Café’s Peru coffee, this brew also brings the richly-fudgy depth of toasted malt and just a touch of sweetness from Korthase Brothers Sugarbush maple syrup. The result is an inky, indulgent sip (ABV here is just over 13 percent)—perfect for a little après ski or savoring by a crackling fire! Get cozy with a tapped pour (4oz or 10oz) or grab a bottle to go at Elder Piper Beer & Cider at 923 Baxter St. in Petoskey. elderpiperbeer.com
