We rested our Long Shadow Stout for months in freshly-dumped Catoctin Creek Whisky barrels made of Virginia Oak. Once ready, we conditioned the beer on cherries, cacao, and vanilla. The marriage of time, the right vessels, the finest ingredients, and labor makes the end result into something greater than the sum of its parts.

50cl bottle pours a translucent brown with a thick mountain of khaki head. The cherry perfumes out of the glass, raspberry too, it's followed by chocolate and booze. You can smell this from 3 feet away and it's clear. The cherry almost smells like a kriek. Cream soda too which extends to the flavor, so much cherry and raspberry too, malt, toast, cocoa. Dry finish with some tartness and a ton of lingering fruit.
