About This Beer
The first version of a new series where we look to use adjuncts to harmonize the blended base beers. This year's version consists of a rye stout base aged in Willett Bourbon and Rye barrels for 21-22 months. We used a heavy hand of roasted hazelnuts, Tanzanian cacao nibs, and Madagascar vanilla. The base beers create a foundation of milk chocolate, praline wafers, and those wonderful oaky lactones from top-notch Bourbon barrels. As we conditioned on the adjuncts, our intention was to use them in a way where one does not dominate, but each of them comes through as the beer is opened and starts to warm. As much as we want to dive deep into a long list of tasting notes, we can't help but to feel like this beer parallels a gold foil-wrapped Ferrero Rocher. A delicate and nuanced beer that should be enjoyed now. Available in 500ml bottles for on-site consumption.
