Seven malts were used to create deep flavors of coffee, chocolate, caramel, and molasses. A hint of bitterness and herbal character from carefully selected European and American hops help support the monolithic maltiness. This special batch was aged in bourbon barrels and conditioned on Madagascar vanilla beans and whole Thunderkiss coffee beans. A truly decadent brew that is intended to be poured into your favorite snifter and given time to warm up from its dark and cool resting place.
This year’s vintage of Vanilla Coffee Bourbon Barrel Dark Apparition was aged in select Russell’s Reserve, Henry McKenna and Willett barrels and conditioned on a blend of Thunderkiss coffee beans and sumptuous Madagascar vanilla beans.
