Beyond Good and Evil is one of Nietzsche’s most powerful works, challenging convention, ‘wisdom’ and ‘morality;’ urging us to transcend the restrictive, bounded concepts of good and evil; and confronting the relative nature of ‘knowledge.’ This both informs and inspires our work. Beyond Good and Evil is also the name of our bourbon barrel-aged maple imperial stout. Brewed in December of 2016, we crafted this beer with malted wheat and Vermont maple syrup. It then rested contentedly in hand-selected bourbon barrels from one of our favorite distilleries for nearly two years.

(Sample on tap @ Warpigs HF Day, Copenhagen, May 12 2016) Pours black with a small tan head and no lace. Aroma of bourbon, molasses, sweet chocolate, lots of maple, toasted coconut and raw sugar, quite sweet overall. Palate is chocolate and maple syrup-forward, with oak, moderate bourbon notes, and a bit of roasted grain and coffee grounds helping to dry out the finish. Full but soft and smooth in the mouth, with light carbonation and little alcohol heat. Big rich fudge-like dessert stout but not so hard to drink, lovely.

Keg @ WarPigs. Pours viscous black with a small mocha head that leaves some sparse trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty, nutty and roasty with roasted malts, caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, walnuts, maple syrup, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, moist soil, chocolate syrup and hints of alcohol. Taste is very sweet, bitter, malty and nutty. Mouthfeel is syrupy, round, viscous, tiny roasted astringent, tiny boozy and near full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter and syrupy with roasted malts, chocolate, walnuts and maple syrup. Tasty but a bit too cloying sweet to enjoy more than a few sips.
