Black Tuesday Barrel Series Box (2021)

This exclusive collection features some of our favorite barrel treatments of Black Tuesday. The big and bold nature of the Black Tuesday base beer lends itself well to lengthy wood-aging and highlights the unique nuances of each spirit barrel.

It's been said it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert, so after 12 years, we feel confident in saying we've put in the hours when it comes to barrel-aging beers— especially Black Tuesday. This box represents our collective 10,000 hours of practice and dedication and is a testament to our team's commitment to never taking the easy way and constantly striving to improve. We hope you enjoy.

Black Tuesday - Cognac Barrel-Aged

This version of Black Tuesday spent 18 months developing in choice cognac barrels— a rare find, so of course, we had to do something special with them. Pouring a dark black with an almost purple-ish hue, the nose is greeted with aromas of grape and hints of candied fruit. The palate is unmistakably Black Tuesday, with bold notes of dark fruits, rich chocolate, and crème brûlée that are complemented by notes of savory caramel, vanilla, and honey from the barrel.

Pitch black color with off white head. Massive nose of roasted malt, stewed apricots, oak, dark chocolate and molasses. Alcohol is noticeable. The palate is off-sweet, lots of barrel character, lots of stout notes, modestly tart. Alcohol is noticable. Warming long finish of cognac, oak and dark chocolate. Wonderful stuff.

Flaska från USA. 2021 BT Barrel Series. Svart med liten ljusbeige krona. Tjärpastill, fat, bra hetta, kärvt, Cognac, salmiak. Ganska pang på: old school imp stout tweakad till max. Saknar kanske lite nyans.
