If you loved the 2019 release of this exciting stout collaboration with Horus Aged Ales, you’ll be even more psyched about this new barrel-aged version of the same beer. Let us fill you in…
It’s been almost 2 years since Kyle from Horus Aged Ales reached out to say he’s ready to head to Decorah. We spent the next few months conceptualizing the project, originally targeting the beer expression of a caramel pecan chocolate bar. This is the final and barrel-aged version of that batch. Aged on a selection of vanilla from Mexico, Tahiti, Madagascar and Vanuatu, then multiple doses of roasted pecans, we’re excited to share this beer with the world. Imagine a turtle Bundt cake topped with vanilla ice cream and a double dose of roasted pecans!

On tap. No head. Oily black color.
Lots of pecan and vanilla. Has a cinnamon flavor to it. Fudge and chocolate. Warming bourbon. Oak. Very smooth. A bit sweet, but not cloying. Full bodied. This one is very good.
