A blend of 8 different barrel aged beers, including but not limited to our Stout, Porter, and a few seasonal beers (on the dark side of things), a majority coming from french oak barrels previously holding red wine from Cisco's Nantucket Vineyard, adding oak character. This beer is unfiltered, so some sediment is normal. It has been inoculated with brettanomyces (a wild yeast). Rich and malty with a slight tartness and a mild, intentional, "farmhouse funk" provided by the wild yeast.

Old as fuck dark woods. I'm not gonna get into but it basically doesn't need to exist. I guess that's the only part of drinking it I don't regret, at least now it no longer exists. I'll take a fuckin geny cream over this any day. Christ
