An unadulterated ode to barrel aging. No adjuncts, no flavorings, and no gimmicks. Purely the beer, the barrel, and the patience to let it sleep quietly for a year. The patience was by far the hardest part, but the wait was so worth it! Big viscous and velvety texture, huge Cacao, Coffee and vanilla notes, and of course the warm embrace of the barrel courtesy of the Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey barrel it was aged in. This may quite possibly be the best Urban Forest beer to date! We think you'll agree.

Pours black with a very modest head. The aroma is immediately bourbon and sweet, roasted malt. Taste is very smooth, nicely moderated in mouthfeel and ABV. This is a surprising find and a wonderfully tasting brew. A strong vanilla and chocolate presence greets the palate. Very recommended.
