This beer, inspired by a famous Kentucky pie, will be the biggest beer ever bottled by either brewery. This beer, which will run around 13% ABV, is an imperial red that has been aging in bourbon barrels for months along with Cocoa nibs and toasted pecans.
“We’ve been working on this beer for months, and we’re really excited about the result” said Country Boy Head Brewer Evan Coppage. “This beer really showcases what great beer is being made in Lexington.”
“The combination of roasted pecans and chocolate really works well with the natural sweetness and vanilla that is imparted from the bourbon barrels,” said West Sixth brewer Robin Sither.

Draft: Clear copper with a beige head. Toffee, cinnamon aroma. Flavours of chocolate/caramel malts, cinnamon, and a slight herbal bittering. Very good....spicy... I’d never have thought this had that high an ABV.... Really nicely done.

On tap at MM. Clear Amber with small white head. Aroma is chocolate, thick body, low carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste big chocolate, some cherry, and booze.
