Collaborating with like-minded brands who believe in the value of a quality product is an important part of this brewery. For this beer we teamed up with locally based 9FIVE Eyewear to create a collaboration package that includes a unique beer, unique pair of sunglasses, and a unique tasting glass. After aging in rye whiskey barrels for a year we treated the imperial stout with a heavy dose of cacao nibs and cinnamon to create multiple layers of flavor within the beer.
We aimed to make this pairing as timeless as the era that inspired the 9FIVE brand name. Cheers to you, from 95 'til Infinity.

500mL bottle (~6 years old), pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of cinnamon, washed out rye barrels, and earthy notes. Flavour is quite unpleasant, with lots of earthy rye, roasted malt, light cinnamon, and washed out notes. This is way past its prime. Unpleasant at this point.

Pours black, small ring of dark head. Smell is sharp, cinnamon, bit boozy, no real whisky or cocoa here. Taste is soft, creamy, cinnamon, mild chocolate undertone. Bourbon only pops up in the aftertaste. As feared, the cinnamon simply ruins the beer to me. It is really loud to me, and usually overtakes all other aspects of the beer. Medium thick to thick body, average Carbo for a US imperial stout ( which seems rather high for pastry). A good beer, that much is sure. But I'd like it so much more without the cinnamon

Bottle. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong teddy graham cookies, cinnamon toast, cocoa, bourbon, wood. Slick body, roast, cinnamon, dark chocolate, oak, very sweet, boozy finish, very good.
