The Roughly two years in the making, the 15th entry in our Sigil series is a blend of approximately 33% double barrel rye wine and 66% double barrel stout. The rye wine aged 12 months in Buffalo Trace barrels before an additional 10 months in Dad’s Hat Rye barrels, while the stout spent 13 months in Dad’s Hat Rye barrels followed by a transfer to fresh Dad’s Hat rye barrels for an additional 10 months.

Look - Pours a dark black color with a decent head that sticks around a few minutes.
Smell - Malt, rye whiskey, bourbon (a nice level, not over intense) and light brownie.
Taste - Similar to the nose - malt, rye whiskey, and bourbon. The whiskey/bourbon is a bit more intense than the nose, but not overly done.
Feel - Taste and feel is i bit on the whiskey/bourbon side to me. Not bad, but not enough other flavors for my liking.
Overall - A solid stout, but to me it isn't a great stout.
