Imperial stout aged in rum, bourbon, and bourbon maple barrels and finished on Vermont maple syrup and freshly ground cinnamon. The blend consists of:
31% "Oats Recipe" - Our Imperial Oatmeal Stout recipe aged for 13 months in Rum Barrels
33% "O.W.K. Recipe" - Our Massive Imperial Stout recipe aged for 16 months in BLiS Maple Bourbon Barrels
36% "Maple Recipe" - Our Imperial Stout recipe with Maple Syrup added during fermentation and then aged for 13 months in a Cinnamon Whiskey Barrel and Willett Bourbon Barrel

These barrels were blended and then further infused with a thoughtful amount of freshly ground cinnamon and Vermont maple syrup at levels that provided a harmonious experience on the palate of cinnamon, maple, barrel roast, vanilla, almond, dark and milk chocolate, coffee, bourbon and caramelized rum.

Cellar draught, 2/15/24. Clear, dark, thin ring of tan head. Cinna-vanilla. Not sure where the vanilla is coming from but it's lovely. Crunchy roasty, lightly spicy. Not the most bourbon we've ever seen but respectable. No booze. Cinnamon waffles with light maple and brown sugar. Definitely on the sweeter side. Malty, rich, malty...uhhh...rich...yeah, a bit too much for me but respect.
