A one-of-a-kind, serendipitous, blended brew we probably couldn’t make again if we tried. One-year bourbon-barrel aged Irish Stout (with brett character) meets fresh schwarzbier, blended with a few stray barrels of aged English Porter. The result is crazy… complex with leather and tobacco notes, fresh roastiness, brett, and that slight twang you get from extended aging with wild yeast. Damn.

Stumbled on this on draft. Love Sixpoint so I was more than willing to give it a try, especially on this cold day. Poured pouch black with no light piercing it at all. Thin tan head and a slight lacing on each sip that faded pretty quickly. Not much on the nose but that may have been because of my own winter nose. Incredible flavor that is so varied that it's really hard to pin down. Definitely get the roasted essence from the stout but the Brett mixes in a complexity that is quite unusual and hard to describe because it's so unexpected. Usually throwing all these things into a blend makes for a mess but I have to give it to Sixpoint here. It shouldn't work but, oh man, does it. Looking forward to having this again!
