To all of our Friends and family who have supported us, this beer is for you. Cheers from everyone in the Cigar City Brewing Family! This beer is not for sale and was blended and packaged in 12oz bottles to serve as a gift from our employees to the people that supported us all year long. The only way to get one of these bottles is to receive as a gift from a CCB employee.
Cheers! is a 50/50 blend of Bourbon Barrel-aged Big Sound that has been in barrels for over 2 years and a California Brandy Barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout.

12 oz. bottle. Inky black. Big brandy aroma. Fudge. Some molasses and brown sugar. A little bourbon. Taste is equally strong brandy. Sweet and brown sugary up front. Roasted malt and molasses. Again, not much bourbon. Heavy and sweet. Excellent. Really sweet, but enough barrel character to keep it interesting.

i went into this thinking it's a bad idea to blend beers. and blending two great beers at that. this looked like a classic big stout. black with a light brown head, exactly how i like stouts to look. however, this isn't a stout. it's a blend of two of my favorite beers they've ever made. bourbon barrel big sound is incredible, and it's been in barrels for a little over 2 years?! and mix in a little cali brandy stout, you've got a blended beer that's actually (really) good.
