Imperial Rye Stout w/ Cocoa Nibs, Hazelnut, and Vanilla Aged in Four Roses Barrels

BARREL-AGED PRESS PLAY, a collaboration with Voodoo Brewery. The last time we released this one was in our 12oz bottles! It’ll be in the bigger format this time around. This Imperial Rye Stout with Cocoa Nibs, Hazelnut, & Vanilla was Aged in Four Roses Bourbon Barrels for almost 18 months. Charred marshmallow aromatics delve into a pool of sweet hand-roasted Hazelnuts for the first few nips. As this beer opens & warms up, it transforms into brownie batter with a slow barrel heat. The ABV is a little higher this time around, clocking in at 15.2%. While we have been focusing on letting the barrels shine lately, we are really excited with how these adjuncts play with the oak, & we can't wait for you to try this.
