A calculated blend of a high gravity version of our FOBAB Best of Show-winning Arcane Rituals Barleywine aged in Elijah Craig and Heaven Hill Double Oak barrels layered with casks of Darkstar November and double mashed Darkstar November aged in Old Fitzgerald and Rittenhouse Rye barrels at the perfect ratio to pull you through time, space, and all the lessons our production and blending teams have learned on this plane of existence.

Dark Rituals pours black with glints of amber while sweet aromas of toffee and raisin flicker through the senses. Flavors of fig and heavy caramel teleport through the familiar rye-riddled stout base of Darkstar November, fortifying the palate for the oaked finish and spike of bourbon on the 13.13% exhale.

Bottle. Pours clear chestnut, medium beige head, good lacing. Aroma is rich with dark sugars and bourbon, notes of vanilla, marzipan, oak. Flavor is quite sweet, light plus bitter. Full body. Quite nice.
