This imperial wheat stout delivers a luscious, full body with a persistent, malty sweetness. Twenty-two months aging in a Weller Antique whiskey barrel, hand-picked by the team at Primo Vino, impart hints of raspberry, vanilla, toffee, and baking spice. The wood also provides a sturdy, spicy tannin structure to bolster the softness of the base stout. Together, these elements provide a complex beer that reveals new layers as it warms in your glass.

Deep brown coloration on the pour, without the appearance of being overly viscous. Head rises quickly and is just as quick to fizzle back out.
At a colder temperature, the nose features prune, malt, and toasted oak. As Hot Town opens up more, chocolate and firewood undertones come to the forefront and bring another layer of complexity.
The palate is a barrel monster, but in a very balanced way. It leads with burnt caramel, char, and a touch of vanilla. Riding alongside the whole way is stewed fruit, baking chocolate and a subtle accompanying bitterness throughout.
The mouthfeel is a tad thin, but it really works in more of an old school, no-need-for-a-20+ hour boil kinda way. The carbonation is present but not overbearing, and there's good length to the finish as a counterpart to a hearty warmth that lingers well into the next sip.
