A blend of oatmeal imperial stouts that were aged in rye and bourbon barrels for two years:
-Two Rittenhouse Rye barrels that were aged for two years with an Imperial Oatmeal Stout
-Two Four Roses 10-Year Bourbon barrels that were aged for two years with an Imperial Oatmeal Stout
On the tongue, Derivation Blend #7 has loads of rich, dark chocolate and mocha powder, with hints of sweet coffee and a whisper of char. The 15% ABV is non-existent during the sip as it is really well-integrated into the beer after 2 years of maturation. The oak lays down sweet expressions of coconut and almonds due to the younger barrels.
