A Bird To Explore All Shores is a barrel-aged imperial stout that we brewed in October of 2017 with our friend Kyle from Horus Aged Ales that had been aging in barrels until earlier this year. We started with a complex malt bill that blended our two recipes for imperial stouts that we brew for barrel-aging. We then aged a portion of that base into three different barrels - Cognac, Bourbon Maple and Rum Maple. From these three different types of barrels we created three distinctly different beers that we bottled for release.
The second variant was inspired by the Kentucky confection known as the Bourbon Ball. We took Bourbon Maple Barrel-Aged Stout and conditioned it on cacao and freshly toasted whole pecans.

Pours a ruby-hued black with close to three fingers of fizzy dark mocha head. It’s quick to dissipate, leaving a modest crown and sparse spotty lacing.
Rich aroma with pecans, dark chocolate, brownie batter, maple, coffee and vanilla-tinted bourbon.
Rich chocolate, toasted brownie and bourbon hit first in the taste, with a nice layer of pecan underneath. There are hints of red wine, cola, prune and a just a kiss of maple. Chocolate bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.
Slick, thick and fizzy mouthfeel.
Amazing chocolate and pecan, along with a great barrel addition, really make this beer. I don’t like the fizzy head, but what are you gonna do? Highly recommended.
