Aging for half of our three year existence in Four Roses and Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, this incredibly smooth Imperial Stout is as delightful to sniff as it is to taste! Bursting with bold milk chocolate flavor and a smooth, creamy bourbon finish, this big stout is the perfect toast celebrating our third anniversary.
