No Ends is a continuation of our Only Beginnings collaboration. We took a portion of the original Only Beginnings brew (that wasn't canned or adjuncted) and laid it to rest in bourbon and rye barrels. When it came time to select the barrels, which were aged for about 12 months, we had Sam from Firestone come over and taste the barrels with us. We landed on blending a Woodford Rye barrel for that bit of spice, a Woodford Double Oak barrel for that extra oakiness, and a Weller wheated barrel for that smooth spirit heat.

NITRO pour into an 8 oz tulip pours jet black, thick, with a luscious brown head that fades to a ring of foam.

Aromas of candied walnuts, toast, and wood. Mild cocoa.

Cocoa, coconut, Bourbon, oak, and some char wash over the tongue.

Luscious mouthfeel with a light clean finish from the Nitro.

I really enjoy the Nitro version. Luscious, rich, subtle aromas, mild flavors. Everything is there, just elegant instead of aggressive.

Courtesy of ThirsyBird. 500ml bottle served in my Spiegelau tulip. Pours the color and clarity of cola with no head - just a soapy slick that quickly disperses into a tight band around the shoulders. Nose is lovely - notes of molasses, vanilla, wood and spirits. Taste is even better than the nose - everything is amplified with the addition of a burnt sugar character. Mouthfeel is medium-light in body (closer to the light end of the spectrum with an easy, even carbonation. Overall, this is a top notch beer. A little more body would add to the mouthfeel; however, this is delicious and a testament to no adjuncts.
