Imperial Rye Amber aged in Hogshead Rye Whiskey Barrels is hand crafted with attention to detail which created something truly bold and unique. The warm earth and wood flavor that comes through will change the way you look at all Ambers from this moment on. You could say it changes you future, because really with this awesomeness flowing from one hog’s head to another, there really are only happily ever afters.

Clear dark amber with a medium sized beige head, some lacing. Aroma of caramel, woody, brown sugar and rye spices. Flavors of toasted malts, caramel, whiskey, rye, hot alcohols
Good, but I like the No 2 version with Bourbon Barrels better.

Bottle thanks to Craig. Pours a clear reddish copper color with a small white head. A big sweet toffee and whiskey nose. The flavor is hot whiskey, sweet toffee, hot sugary notes. Hmm. A bit sweet and big on the barrel.
