Close For Comfort is our barrel-aged pastry wine. It’s a blend of 22 month old calvados barrel-aged rye wine and a Templeton rye barrel and two small format RockFilter Distillery barrels containing 19 month old barleywine we brewed with maple sap in place of water. We conditioned this barrel-aged blend on house-toasted coconut, roasted pecans and vanilla bean caviar. The resulting flavor is reminiscent of butter pecan ice cream drizzled with bourbon. We created this pastry-style wine to drink fresh with family and friends during the winter alongside your favorite holiday dessert.

Close For Comfort pours an almost black color, with no head. Aroma is rich, sweet, lots of maple, oak notes. Flavor is very rich, a bit thick, lots of maple, hints of vanilla, lot of oak, hints of bourbon, with a warm bite to the finish. A bit flat, and very thick body. Overall, this is an amazing beer, great sipper.
