Double barrel-aged stout blend first aged in Stagg Jr 8-year, Old Fitzgerald 19-year, and Henry McKenna 10year barrels for 20-27 months, then in Eagle Rare 10-year, Willett Family Reserve 10-year, and Calvados Apple Brandy barrels for an additional 9-16 months with Cook Island vanilla beans.
When building this year-two Mutuality blend, we wanted to keep the bones of what made batch one so special for us, while also embracing the natural variations in barrel varieties, base beers, and aging times.
Mutuality XXV is once again a double-barrel aged stout, aged in several bourbon and one apple brandy barrel, and aged on Cook Island vanilla beans for the final stretch of the aging process. Apple brandy and vanilla come through in a big way on the nose, which switches to a bourbon-and-vanilla show on the palate. Big warming heat and mellow oak, deep dark chocolate, bright marshmallowy vanilla, and a lingering finish with the apple brandy making one last appearance alongside some delicate spice notes from the vanilla. Cheers to another year, Advocators!

Baker's chocolate, dark fruits, red apples, and a prominent apple brandy barrel boozy nose on this one! Taste follows with a velvety-smooth, sweet milk chocolate, creamy vanilla, and a balanced bourbon barrel and a prominent apple brandy barrel finish. As it warms, that apple brandy barrel sweetness and booziness starts to assert itself more. I am very interested in how this will be after sitting in the bottle for a while and everything becomes a touch more integrated. This is outstanding!
