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 last variant took its inspiration from some of our favorite coffee desserts. We took our Rum Maple Barrel Aged Imperial Stout and conditioned it on dark roasted coffee, cacao and Madagascar vanilla beans.

Pours pitch black, completely impervious to light. Thick and viscous, an aggressive pour creates a perfect thick, dense, foamy head that lingers and laces. Sweet coffee aroma, mixed in with chocolate and maple syrup. Flavor is sweet syrup, abundant coffee, chocolate, some vanilla, light barrel flavor. Coffee bitterness curbs the maple syrup sweetness perfectly. Thick and chewy, texture is unreal. Carbonation adds to a creamy, smooth feel. Overall, another amazing BA adjunct imperial stout from 2 of the best: Kane and Horus.

Viscous sticky black with a bubbly dark mocha collar, smell is toasted marshmallow and smoky, dark charred oak, and taste is earthy, herbal and roasty of mocha and an almost cinnamon maple character via a medium silky body with a light carbonation that fills it in before a cardboard dry finish.
