A blend of barren-aged beer from the cellar, Barrel-Aged Ded Moroz, regular Ded Moroz, Ryezenbock, and Unironic Tweed. The heavy barrel-aged characteristics are balanced nicely by the fresher beer blended in. You get big complex notes of dark fruit and vanilla as well as subtle notes of pecan and cola syrup without too much sweetness.

This is a hard beer to classify and describe. It's a blend of an American Imperial Stout, an American Barleywine, and a German Weizenbock. I had it on draught at the brewery. It pours an inky, almost black with mahogany hues. The creamy, light khaki-colored head faded rapidly leaving a thin sheen of like-colored lacing. It's an elegant pour. Its smell is highly aromatic and features roasted malt, raisin, brown sugar, black cherry, tobacco, leather, and earthy peat. The taste is sensational: Cola, raisin, black cherry, vanilla, brown sugar, nuts, earthy char, and subtle but noticeable bourbon from the various BA components. It starts out sweet and ends with a lot of bitterness. The mouth feel is creamy and viscous with low carbonation, and despite its warming 11.5% ABV it's very drinkable. Overall, no brewery in the New York Metro area consistently blends high ABV beers as well as Rushing Duck. I've grown to take these blends for granted but they really are quite special. These beers aren't distributed but they add the special ambience of visiting this accomplished brewery.
