Blend of barrel aged imperial stout and barleywine ale brewed with maple syrup and conditioned on cacao nibs and vanilla beans.

10,000 Steps was packaged in February and is a blend of both bourbon and cognac barrel aged stout (75%) and bourbon barrel aged maple barleywine (25%). The complimentary addition of Nicaraguan cacao nibs and a touch of Ugandan vanilla help to softly amplify the underlying character of stout and American oak.
