Madness & Civilization is a panorama of our barrel aging program—oak-aged beers that emerge from their individual silences to find structure and voice as a unified composition. This is the result of an unpredictable state of permanent happenstance—a dialogue with our evolving approach to blending that challenges convention and circumstance. Each release will include multiple threads and is likely to approximate the style of an imperial stout.

Release #3 A single bourbon barrel blend of Damon and Everett aged for over 18 months.

Opened at a bottle share in July of 2016.

Unfortunately, this beer may be past its prime. It had some unwelcome sour notes up front, which are not typical of either barrel aged Everett or Damon.

Given all of this, however, this was still a pretty good beer. Worth drinking, for sure, though it may not carry the trade value it once did.

Clearly infected, and not "in a good way" as some Untappd reviews have claimed.
