Blend of imperial stouts and barleywine aged in bourbon barrels.
Cosmic Echoes returns with another dynamic double-barrel blend of stouts, barleywines, and Munichwine. The final blend showcases a fusion of two stouts, 2 barleywines, and a munichwine that aged in eight different types of oak barrels. Cosmic Echoes reverberates notes of candied figs, baking spice, milk chocolate ganache, honey roasted almonds, and salted English toffee. The experience holds you comfortably close while it simultaneously nudges your palate towards exploration.

Bottle thanks to Adrian. Pours a dark brown with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong chocolate, licorice, tobacco, wood. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, boozy, enjoyed this.
