We released our first Abeyance barrel-aged imperial stout blend in June of 2019. These new blends are made from an imperial stout we brewed back in March of 2019, and then placed in four different bourbon barrels to age for almost 3 years.

Blend #5 (white wax) is an imperial stout aged in Woodford Reserve Double Oaked barrels for over 35 months.

poured from a 375mL bottle into a perennial snifter. pours black with a thin dark brown foam cap. heavy bourbon barrel on the nose. some slight chocolate and dark fruits as well. lots of dark fruits in the taste. still heavy bourbon. these blends (2-5) have reminded me a lot of the Voodoo black magicks only not nearly as thick of mouthfeel. still a very good non-adjunct BA IS. wish it was little heavier on the chocolate notes over the dark fruits though.
