It’s been almost 2 years since Kyle from Horus Aged Ales reached out to say he’s ready to head to Decorah. We spent the next few months conceptualizing the project; originally targeting the beer expression of a caramel pecan chocolate bar. This is the final, and barrel-aged version of that batch. Aged on a selection of vanilla from Mexico, Tahiti, Madagascar, and Vanuatu, then multiple doses of roasted pecans; we’re excited to share this beer with the world. Imagine a turtle bundt cake topped with vanilla ice cream and a double dose of roasted pecans. Cheers, and enjoy!

Bottle shared by MJ. Black with brief tan head. Cocoa, vanilla, oak, bourbon, pecans. Taste is slightly more boozy and nutty than aroma. Brilliant stuff.
