Brewed with 35% malted rye & 65% Maris Otter barley imported from England. Boiled 24 hours for intense natural wort caramelization. Aged for 15 months in freshly emptied Sagamore Rye Whiskey barrels. We smell & taste intense impressions of charred pumpernickel crust, caramelized raisin compote, cherry cordial cake, golden rum cake, and whiskey pecan pie.

Can thanks to Joe! Pours a clear deep brown with an amber hue and a thin tan head that dissipates quickly and completely. Aroma has caramel and sweet grains with some light fruits and toffee underlying. Flavor has strong cookie and caramel with toffee and a bit of light fruits.
