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.

Thick, boozy, fairly dry. Dark chocolate, bourbon, leathery and spicy, maybe a bit more so than '21. Rich, excellent.

Draught at SP Cellar, 9/29/23. Dark. Inky. No head. Vanilla and very slight roasted acidity from the barrels with plentiful choco-caramel and moderate spiciness on the finish. Love to smell all this vanilla and fruit character despite no actual adjuncts used. Clean, no booze. Very mellow for its young age, with an all around solid, classic stout character (though of course, the classic being in the contemporary IS style). Soft, richly malted, spicy bourbon and moderate acidity all the while playing against the big, dense, sweet malts. Raisin, fig, chocolate, vanilla, lovely, elegant barrel. Big and full, moderately syrupy. Could be just a speck drier? No doubt this will be achieved in time. Clean, no alcohol. Classy.

Bottle shared at tasting. Opaque black color, no head. Aroma is heavy liquor, heavy barrel aging going on there. Flavor is malts, again heavy liquor, heavy BA, raisins, soy sauce. Heavy bitters as well. Full bodied, heavy, thick. Damn this is heavy but good. A glass is fine but a bottle is too much.
