This barrel-aged palate-saver has been a favorite among our fans—and us—since its inception in 2013. Pecans, wheat, flaked rye and bourbon-soaked barrels provide this whopping, complex superhero version of an imperial stout with a profound complexity that makes it ideal for cellaring—if you can wait that long. Now, we can’t say this beer bestows jedi powers, exactly, but your taste buds may just be fooled into believing as much. A special thanks to Amanda Conner, who illustrated this year's label to support The Hero Initiative.
This beer is a monster. The flavors are a wonderful blend of everything that makes a great imperial stout, loaded with roasty notes and malty complexity. Brewing with rye and nuts always creates challenges for our brewing team, but they rose to the occasion with this one – it’s simply amazing.

Was saving this to commemorate my book on beer fandom that never got written. Oh, well. Rich, chocolate roast malt nose right off the bat. I do clearly pick up some bourbon in the nose, despite the description of "partial" barrel aging. Black stout body with a thin layer of tan foam. Has aged very nicely. Has equal parts bourbon and stout taste, and the nuts come up the middle, though I wasn't told it was pecan, I'd not have guessed it.
Drinks very nicely, which is a crapshoot in an older cellar beer. A little lighter than other bourbon barrel stouts.
Meh. Big Bang this is not.

Soy sauce on the nose. Strong star anise and cinnamon notes. Vanilla. Syrupy. East drinking.
