Vintage 2020. After spending 12 months in a bourbon barrel from Black Button Distilling, this imperial stout balances chocolate and roast with vanilla, oak, and bourbon.

2020 draught at the brewery, as pictured, 11/29/25.
Elegant bourbon, not too little, not too much with prune and espresso-laced chocolate fudge and caramel. No alcohol noted. Seemingly good depth of malts with no excess sugar.
Spicy bourbon dries out the already well-attenuated malts. Tons of fudge and caramel with little/no roast (but enough to give it a stout feel). Chewy texture still has plenty of depth even after five years, but this certainly isn't a monster syrup-fudge bomb like many contemporary Imperial Stouts. More in the vein of Hill Farmstead's more elegant beers. No alcohol noted, plentiful bourbon, with lingering vanilla, raisin, fudge and bourbon spice.
