Brewed in July 2020, we designed Echos with the intention of presenting core qualities from our high-gravity, spirit barrel-aged beers in a format that delights and surprises in its drinkability. Made with a carefully assembled blend of base and specialty malts from a range of our suppliers (spanning Germany, UK and US), wildflower honey from @stonewallapiary and hopped with some favorite German varietals. We fermented this one low and slow with our lager yeast and cold conditioned in stainless for 8-weeks before transferring a portion (~60%) to Buffalo Trace barrels. The stainless and oak-aged components were blended back together prior to packaging early this year.

12oz can, batch 2, 2022, drunk 9/29/22. Dark mahogany, clear. Tan head to ring. Sweet caramel and chocolate with vanilla and light bourbon. Roast is soft and mild with no alcohol or flaw. Raisins, prunes, etc... Vanilla, prune, chocolate and bourbon with a soft, medium body somewhat thinned out by alcohol. Still not in love with Fox Farm's Imperial Stouts/Porters, as they're just so brutally dry and alcoholic (though not sharp/hot alcohol). Just too much bitter roast licorice, intense dark chocolate.
