For this year’s first release we have a very special treat. We aged 2014 Madness in Green Hat Ginavit barrels and allowed the two to interplay with one another creating some one of a kind flavors. We have been sampling this barrel aged deliciousness waiting for it to hit the right balance of booze and beer character, and we really like where it landed last week. The robust notes of dark fruit from the Madness are a perfect counterbalance to the piney brightness of the juniper. This beer is perfect for cellaring, or be the life of the party and bring this big boozy beast to your next dinner party.

From a corked and caged 75 cl bottle. Pours a clear deep
Amber with an ecru head. Aroma of bourbon and caramel. Sweet flavors of oak and dark stone fruits. Sweet boozy finish. Nice dessert beer.

750ml bottle pours a murky, deep brown with a ring of off white head. Nose has loads of herbal notes, cedar, candlewax, malt, some celery, a bit leathery too. Flavor has caramel, molasses, heavy herbs, mild juniper, heavy booze. Lots of carbonation too. Wrong.
