For the first time, we offer the Port barrel-aged version of Everett (1908-1939), Edward’s brother, as well as the name of our robust porter. For these barrel-aged editions, we brew a richer, more complex version of Everett, one that will sympathize with whichever barrel type we choose. This particular one was conditioned in freshly emptied Port barrels, resting contentedly for 20 months, taking on the unique characteristic that time and fortified wine provide.

2025 375mL bottle drunk 1/12/26, as pictured.
Very barrel-forward nose full of luscious, juicy, rich port character. Big, juicy grapey vinousness but not too much acid/tannin. Chocolate and nuttiness behind with evident bready, lightly roasty malts. No alcohol or flaw noted.
Wow, that is significantly better than the nose, and the nose was quite nice! Much maltier than the aroma, and with good effect, creating a rich, supple, comforting texture with low but ample roast and moderate chocolate character. Juicy, poignant port character is rich and intensely flavorful, but doesn't outmatch the body/malt. No alcohol noted. Just phenomenally flavorful stuff with all sorts of wood/port complexity, but yet still low enough in abv and sweetness to be surprisingly drinkable. This will be great for many years to come.
