Double Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout Aged Twice in Bourbon Barrels
The bespoke veil over treasured myth. The 11th volume of this epic arrives. An indelible etching on the tomb of our relics, and a reminder of the pathway we trudged along to stand where we now do. The tale of this massive earthen tool has carried us into the end-of-year festival with each passing turn around the sun. Made of varied barrel-aged stouts from 16% down to 13%, this blended Imperial Stout was forged of 100% Imperial Stout aged twice in fresh Willets bourbon barrels for more than 1 year. Welcome to our 2023 Cuvee. A too-damn-good for old-fashioned burst of quality bourbon, sipped alongside tres leches cake, layered in caramel frosting, with a sidecar of cherry, vanilla and chocolate cordial.
