This blend of strong dark porters was aged in oak, wine and Bourbon barrels, then blended with a dark porter that had been brewed with vanilla beans and cinnamon. The blend was then aged an additional 14 months on dates

Bottle shared at Maltzilla’s All American Weekend. Pours cloudy brown color with tan head. Tons of aromas; toasted malts, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, wood, wine. Similar falvors with some sourness. Weird, but interesting.

GABF 2010 - I liked this well enough, but didn’t love it like others did - a lot of damp wood - very mellow acidity - the porter character was evident, adding some chocolate and roasty character that works better with the moderate wildness than you would expect - quite a bit of cherry - char, vanilla and moderate bourbon - interesting.

Curtis, the brewer, was kind enough to allow me to sampled this on tap from the keg room at the brewery. This beer is completely legit. Pours an opaque, deep brown with a very frothy off white head. The nose is really good, sour mash, lactic acid, big vanilla, whiskey, brown sugar, licorice, chocolate, dried fruits. Flavor was just as good, starts with a lactic tartness which is rounded out by a mellow sweetness, oak, vanilla beans, light Belgian chocolate, some light spice. Full bodied, roasty, tart finish. So happy I had a chance to try this, it’s very exceptional.

On tap at Stone Sourfest. Pours with a tan head over a brown body. Aroma is a bit buttery, bourbon, and dark fruits. Taste is dark fruits, a bit of raspberry, bourbon and incredibly decadent. Light carbonation.
