Derivation is our series of Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts in which we brew several recipes, age them in a variety of barrels and blend them before bottling to add depth and structure to this massive style of beer. Blend #21 is a thoughtful blend of select Bourbon, Maple Bourbon, and Rum Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts which were aged for 18 to 24 months before being infused with Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup and Fresh Ground Cinnamon.

8.8/10
Roasty, sweetish and heavy with barrel notes, some cinnamon, maple syrup, chocolate sauce, cocoa, vanilla and hints of rum. Quite complex and balanced slow sipper.

Pours viscous black with no head. Aroma: plenty of cinnamon and bourbon barrels. Taste: maple syrup, cinnamon and rich chocolate traces. Mild sweetness. Beautiful warming aftertaste.
