A very limited imperial stout aged for over two years in rare Jack Daniel’s and Maker’s Mark barrels, this is our oldest barrel-aged release to date, crafted from two standout casks we couldn’t let go.
Rich layers of dark chocolate, vanilla, and charred oak meet warm bourbon undertones in a velvety, full-bodied pour. Complex, intense, and built for sipping, this is a stout worth slowing down for.

330mL can, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma has an intense roasted malt base, molasses, and some low-quality barrels. Flavour is rich and layered, with big bourbon barrels, medium roast, molasses, light sugars, and dark chocolate. Rich, great barrel character, just enough sugars, with a very thick palate. Excellent.

Dark brown. No head. Quite thick. Fairly rich on the nose, good umami, soy sauce, lots of bourbon. On the palate, the body is big. The barrels lend umami, lots of nice sugars, good dark malt complexity. Balanced - good sweetness and a touch of bitterness.

330 ml can. Pours black with short dark tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate nougat, vanilla, charred oak, soft bourbon, and slick roasted malts. Flavors of rich chocolate syrup, fudge, dry oak, more soft bourbon, vanilla, and thick roasted malts. Creamy and a bit chocolatey sweet on the finish, but much drier than expected. Excellent

Thick and silky. Layers of Bourbon and vanilla set against some forest fruit back notes. Superb.
