Blended Double-Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

Michel Foucault’s The Order of Things explores truth, temporal contextualization, and epistemic assumptions and provides the impetus with which we recognize the necessity for conscious examination of knowledge. In that spirit, we offer a collection that features unique blends of double residency stouts and porters—barrel-aged and thoughtfully woven together—with an optimistic projection of a layered, novel, complex result.

The opening entry into his work’s namesake sequence features an assemblage of four selections, each aged between 1.5 and 2 years in Bourbon barrels: Beyond Good and Evil, Genealogy of Morals, Barrel-Aged Everett, and Damon. This curation was then rested in freshly emptied barrels that held Rye Whiskey from WhistlePig Whiskey in Shoreham, Vt., for an additional half year. The result is a rich, nuanced expression of familiar sensory memories within an until-now unexplored context.

Bottle shared by Clarkvv. Thank you! Aroma has molasses, chocolate, earth and soft oak. Flavor follows with traces of dark fruit and mild alcohol in the finish. Good for sure.

Big boozy barrel nose, body is thin, but with all the flavour, barrel-forward, lots of dried berry and stewed fruits

Bottle pour at the brewery, 5/24/24. Dark, clear, small, tan head. Bourbon forward nose. Still a bit of fresh punchiness to it, in a charming way. Heavy malt, but not too sweet. No overt roast. Lots of brown sugar and playful, albeit strong bourbon. In the mouth it's full of caramel, vanilla, light raisin and brown sugar. Bourbon helps cut the sweetness. No booze or sharpness. Medium to medium full bodied, good maltiness. A bit chewy, a touch of barrel tannin. But very easygoing.
