Now in its 12th vintage, 2019 Eclipse is our rich Imperial Stout aged to perfection in whiskey and spirit barrels. All Eclipse starts with the same base beer bringing hints of dark chocolate, espresso, and a smooth complexity, with each barrel treatment delivering its own unique character after a minimum of 180 days of aging. Rye Cuvée is aged in a variety of premium rye whiskey barrels. Dipped in dark green (olive drab) wax.

Pours black, small tanned head fades fast. Scent is very full, roasty, chocolate, milder whiskey. Taste is very full, bit of heath, lots of whisky. Rather sweet, buttery-whiskey . Lovely, not the best version but certainly enjoyable.

Bottle shared by Marte. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized brown head. Aroma and flavor are malts, roast, barrel aging, whiskey, malt bitters, lightly sweetish vanilla notes, chocolate. Quite thick texture, soft carbonation. Awesome beer.
