As we celebrate our sixth anniversary, we are proud to present Barrel Aged Color & Grain. After a year’s long rest in Bourbon oak barrels, Barrel Aged Color & Grain demonstrates our continued inspiration from wood’s natural beauty, lasting strength, and annual growth cycle.
Out of the bottle, this imperial stout pours an opaque, jet black with a light brown head and a touch of haze. Luxuriously aromatic, Barrel-Aged Color & Grain intertwines enticing notes of light roast coffee, melting dark chocolate and molasses with oaky vanilla and pie crust. Bold chocolate flavors lead the palate calling to mind toffee-brownies and rich ganache while notes of ground walnuts, toasted oats, caramelized brown sugar and dried dark fruits highlight this beer’s depth and nuance. With a thick, full mouthfeel and decadent finish accentuated by a smooth and opulent wash of bourbon, Barrel Aged Color & Grain makes for the perfect bottle to share with loved ones and toast to life’s achievements.
STYLE: Imperial Stout
ABV: 13.9%
HOPS: Hop Extract
MALT: Pale Malt, Caramel Malt, Munich Malt, Flaked Oats, Chocolate Malt, Roasted Wheat Malt
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: Dark Brown Sugar, Chocolate

Tasting at Brian's, bottle, as "Barrel Aged Colour and Grain with Chocolate"
Black colour, poor head retention. Aroma of tar, chocolate, cookies. Full bodied, liquid chocolate, with roasted almonds and s'mores, bourbon; alcohol is warming but not boozy.
Wonderful.

750ml on Brian's deck. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: lots of bourbon, sweet, some chocolate. Taste: sweet, dark fruits, barrel, booziness, not very complex, though. Overall: pretty good.

Dark brown. Not much head. On the nose, there's a bit of bourbon, hazelnuts, quite a bit of alcohol and lots of rich dark sugars, especially date sugars. The body is actually fairly light. but it finishes sticky.

750mL bottle, pours a thick motor oil black, like liquid chocolate, with a small brown head. Aroma is decadent as hell, with intense, complex bourbon upfront, a little vanilla, dark chocolate, and alcohol. Flavour is loaded with bourbon, dark chocolate, a little vanilla, and caramelized brown sugar. Loads of bourbon and dark chocolate, with a rich, deep palate, and a thick mouthfeel. Delicious.

Bottle no date stamp. Odd? Nice aroma of oak, chocolate, molasses, caramel. Flavor has the same with the addition of marzipan and Brown sugar. Good amount of oak. Mouthfeel is almost full with a slight slick texture.
