Minutiae 2024 is our most complex blend of Minutiae yet. For 2024 we took a blend of five different stout recipes that were aged in bourbon barrels for between 21 and 40 months. The blend includes stouts aged in Elijah Craig, Wild Turkey, Willett, and the last cask remaining of perhaps our favorite group of casks we've ever used - a 15-year George Dickel Bourbon barrel that held a Munich Imperial Stout. The blend is also made up of about 20% imperial smoked stout we brewed nearly two years ago which offers amazing complexity to the overall blend with subtle smoke and a savory profile that works so well with all the vanilla and dark cocoa powder from the rest of the blend.

Smooth, slightly roasty and heavy with chocolate sauce, oak, wood, bourbon, toffee, cocoa and vanilla. Thicc and tasty, nice.

Fairly thick, boozy, chocolate, bourbon, maybe a bit of rye. Smooth, a bit one-dimensional but tasty. Very nice.

On tap at Phase Three - Lake Zurich, pours jet black with a small tan head. Nose is very complex, exuding lots of toasty bourbon barrels, oak, wood, and moderately roasted malt. Flavour is rich, complex and elegant, with a wonderful bourbon barrel blend expression, light woodiness, vanillin, dark sugars, and toasted oak. Super smooth and creamy palate. Damn, this is fantastic.
