We took a select blend of old ales that were aged in bourbon barrels for a year and transferred a portion of that to a single cognac barrel for additional aging this past year. The threads of each barrel treatment weave together with every sip playing off of one another in a seamless harmony that goes down smooth and warms the chest as we head into the colder months.

500ml bottle at share. Dark brown pour, opaque, a few stray bubbles. Swet, woody aroma, boozy, Taste follows with a broas malty character, notes of tobacco, oak, boozy, warm. Smooth despite the high ABV.
