Maple Barrel Bestowed is an 11% imperial stout aged 12 months in BLiS barrels. These barrels started out aging older Heaven Hill bourbon and then were used to age Michigan maple syrup at BLiS Gourmet for several months before we filled them with our Bestowed Stout. We didn't add any maple to this beer and let the barrels do the talking which they still do with their heavenly voice today! We originally released this orange wax-dipped bottle for Halloween 2022 and thankfully we had the foresight to tuck some away. It has waves of sweet bourbon, dark chocolate and oaked maple notes. It's a special beer we're thrilled to share with you.
