Brandy Land is a cinnamon-infused, double-mashed imperial stout that slumbered 12 to 24 months in casks that held bourbon and apple brandy. Boasting notes of chocolate, espresso, baked apple and spiced wood, Brandy Land’s delectable blend ends with a warm, lingering finish.

Bottle - this is one of those beers that is just way more than the sum of its parts - the dark malt, apple brandy, oak, and bourbon come together in the nose in a way the evokes cherry cordials and liqueur-infused chocolates - low carbonation and full mouthfeel - flavor is certainly warming - bourbon-soaked cherries, brandy, charred oak, dark chocolate - sweet, but tempered by a light tartness and acidity reminiscent of dark fruit skins - this is a great warming holiday sipper - a spendy four pack, but given that it works out to four bucks a bottle, and most breweries these days would have the audacity to charge ten bucks a bottle for such a beer, I consider this a deal - I certainly hope this become a seasonal regular.
