In 2018 a group of people wanted to donate to a local Rochester charity and asked if we would brew them a beer for the donation. Being a supporter of the arts in Rochester, we accepted and their donation led to the installation of an iron sculpture catfish named Flathead in Kutzky Park installed by Arts 4 Trails. The sculpture lives permanently along the Cascade Creek bike trail just off 11th Ave NW. We aged a stout in Jack Daniels barrels for 15 months before conditioning it on vanilla beans, cold brew coffee and cinnamon.

Bottle pour. Tan head. Black color.

Really solid coffee notes. More vanilla that killerzzzzz showing. Chocolate and fudge. Cinnamon is faint. The barrels are solid, but I preferred the killerzzzzz barrels more. Very warming. Very enjoyable.
