We all know Cory and our team of brewers love brewing stouts with delicious adjuncts, but we also enjoy creating Side Project Barrel-Aged Stout in its purest form with nothing hiding behind any integrated ingredients. We want the vanilla, the coconut, the chocolates and all of the other robust flavors found in this style to come from our process, our recipes, our barrels, our blending and our time.

Incredible depth. Luscious dark malts, dark fruits, toffee, vanilla, fudge, toasted wood, raisins, burnt marshmallows, plum, fig. Chocolate cake. Warming, somewhat sticky. Really dangerous stuff. Impressive.

750ml (thx, Shane!). After MBCC 2025 spontaneous session for beered out people.
American oak, dark fruits, inky, bold, some sweetness. A lot of toasted barrel. Boozy. Interesting.

Pours black, no head. Scent is full, very grainy, milder bourbon. Not as hot as some BBT's. Taste is full, roasty, very mild soy. Bit boozy. Roasty, a bit sharp. Lovely, but after trying the amazing 2021 at the same tasting, this is a bit of a let down - more in line with other BBT's in terms of sharpness and boozyness to me. Still a great beer, but at this level, details matter !
