Aged 12 months in a Remus Single Barrel bourbon barrel from a recent barrel pick.

Our Barrel Pick series features Imperial Stout aged in hand-selected single whiskey barrels, some chosen by us, others by trusted friends.

Each release highlights the unique character that one exceptional barrel brings to the beer, allowing every barrel to tell its own story.
We rotate whiskey brands and sources, so every Barrel Pick is a one-of-a-kind experience!

Barrel Pick: Remus Edition - a barrel-aged sipper full of caramel sweetness, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and whiskey-soaked cherry richness. Velvety, luxurious, and built for slow sipping.

Dark mahogany brown pour, near black and opaque in the glass; virtually no head except for a brief thin, tan, dense covering that quickly dissipated. Rich dark malt and charred grain nose; dark chocolate. Beautiful taste; milk chocolate; raisins and figs; tobacco juice; subliminal barrel wood with a slow-developing yet prominent rise of bourbon presence. Heavy body; thick and sticky; ethereal yet complementary alcohol warmth.

This well-balanced, deep and complex barrel aged imperial stout kills it! I have never heard of Remus bourbon, but the barrel aging acumen of Millpond has produced quite the beer. Exquisite.
