Iron Maiden's Trooper Beer is turning 10 years old on May 9 and the band is celebrating with a pretty strong one.
Iron Maiden will release their new Trooper X Imperial Stout, which clocks in at a hefty 10% ABV, on May 9. Trooper X Imperial Stout was created by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson alongside Robinsons' Head Brewer Martyn Weeks.
"Trooper X is packed full of roasted malt flavours which perfectly balance the complex and delicious aromas," said Weeks. "This is the ultimate super smooth sharing beer which, if you can resist drinking straight away, will mature in the bottle and get even better with age."
Trooper Beer has been insanely popular over the years, having sold over 35 million brews since its inception in 2013. The amount of folks that have gotten drunk off the beer isn't specified, but it's gotta be in the six digits.
"I'm immensely proud that Trooper has reached this milestone. To get to 10 years is a brilliant achievement, and I'm having a great time working with Robinsons and our partners around the world coming up with some fantastic beers! Thanks to our fans, Trooper has become a permanent feature with beer lovers around the world, and it's still growing.
"We are delighted to add Trooper X to the roster and there'll be more beers to come as our Trooper family continues to expand and provide new beers and choices to our fans everywhere."
The Trooper X Imperial Stout will be available through Iron Maiden's website, as well as Drink Aisle's website.
