I had the privilege of acquiring a Four Roses single barrel, picked and signed for good measure by the legend Al Young himself. When brewing the base recipe of Dimensions of Time, I filled this barrel and let it sit for 27 months.

The result is a decadent chocolate/bourbon molten cake. This is very much a traditional stout, which is specifically designed to showcase the barrel more than the leftover unfermented sugars (if you know what I mean). Don't expect pastry flavor or pudding viscosity. This stout is for the bourbon aficionados that enjoy a big-bodied stout with tons of naturally occurring chocolate, vanilla, caramel, leather, and bourbon.
