The Ratio Beerworks Genius Wizard Imperial Stout is a dark and commanding creation born from patience and precision. Brewed in Denver’s creative core, this limited-release stout spends 12 to 24 months maturing in a mix of bourbon and rye whiskey barrels, developing layer upon layer of flavor and depth. The result is a bold yet refined expression of craftsmanship, a beer that balances raw intensity with velvety complexity, perfect for slow sipping and late-night reflection.
Product Details:
- Style: Imperial Stout
- ABV: 14%
- IBU: N/A
- Aging: 12–24 months in bourbon and rye whiskey barrels
Sensory Description:
Genius Wizard pours a midnight black color with a thick, mocha head, releasing an aroma of charred oak, dark chocolate, and caramelized sugar. The palate is rich and indulgent, showcasing flavors of cocoa, espresso, molasses, and toasted coconut with hints of whiskey spice and vanilla. Full-bodied and warming, it closes with a long, silky finish accented by oak tannins and a touch of smoke.
Brewer's Background:
Founded in Denver’s River North Art District, Ratio Beerworks blends traditional brewing techniques with a rebellious spirit inspired by the punk rock ethos. Co-founders Jason ZumBrunnen and Scott Kaplan infuse their brewery with creativity, community, and a dedication to quality, crafting beers that merge classic European influences with bold American character. From bright IPAs to deep, brooding stouts like Genius Wizard, every release reflects Ratio’s passion for artistry and authenticity.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve at a slightly cooler temperature to fully unlock its rich, barrel-aged aromatics and creamy texture. Pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts, roasted nuts, or blue cheese, and is equally enjoyable on its own as a contemplative nightcap.
The Ratio Beerworks Genius Wizard Imperial Stout stands as a powerful testament to Denver’s brewing innovation, a spellbinding fusion of craft, character, and time-aged excellence.

Ratio Beerworks
Ratio Beerworks is where Denver’s punk-rock ethos meets meticulous craft brewing, founded by a trio whose roots run deep in the music scene. In the late ’90s, the future co-founders were touring, producing zines, and managing labels. That DIY passion, combined with training in German breweries and experience across respected Colorado brewhouses, paved the path for Ratio’s founding in Denver’s artistic RiNo district in 2015.
