Before Land Shook is a blend of three mature beers. Half of its total volume is a roast-driven recipe that was aged in a mix of both Pinhook & Eagle Rare Bourbon barrels. The second is a smoother, cocoa-driven recipe that landed in a clean split of 11-year Heaven Hill and Elijah Craig Bourbon barrels. The third, a cocoa and cherry-driven recipe, saw freshly emptied Knob Creek Bourbon barrels. Each component aged for 16 months prior to blend and before receiving an assertive infusion of Madagascar Vanilla Beans, Vegan Marshmallow and Sea Salt.

Salty, roasty and sweet with some barrel, chocolate sauce, licorice and bourbon. Okay, but 2024 was slightly better.

On tap at the brewery. Pours black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong marshmallow fluff, cocoa powder, vanilla bean, wood. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, boozy finish, very nice.
