2024 Eclipse is our rich Imperial Stout aged to perfection in whiskey and spirit barrels. All Eclipse starts with the same base beer, with each barrel treatment delivering its unique character after at least 180 days of aging.
This special variant was aged in used Merlot French Oak barrels that previously held twice-distilled brandy made from grapes affected by the 2020 Glass Fire in Napa Valley.
