Our 2025 vintage of Marley Was Dead is our first-ever to be packaged in this format! Aged 18 months in Washington State’s oldest bourbon barrels, @oldlogcabin1840 10 Year Bourbon Barrels, this release is an extremely special one. Aromas of roasted coffee, caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. Dark chocolate ganache in mouthfeel. Blended with the intention of drinkability today, but the added dimension of aging well if cellared, we think this 14% imperial stout is a perfect holiday gift. Or maybe a little one for you, one for me.

16.9 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of bourbon barrels, hot alcohol, big roast, and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is a massive barrel bomb, with intense wood, light vanillin, and roast. Great intense barrel character, dry roast, and booze. Excellent.

Caramel, chocolate, noticeable spirit notes, quite creamy. Good one.
