Molting Cycle

You must shed the old to grow the new; this is the MOLTING CYCLE. For our second barrel collab with Horus Aged Ales, we took our first BA collab, Midnight Coverts, and filled the entirety of a Black Currant Mead Barrel, which began as a Pappy Van Winkle 23yr Barrel in a past life. The Stout/Barleywine blend is imbued with life anew, transforming into a novel creature entirely. Fresh aromas of treacle, dark fruit, honey, deep barrel and vanilla round out with the mild vinosity of black currant. Rich and rounded with tannins, this cycle continues the flight of soaring bourbon and rye whiskey flavors, rising in the shadows of a medium-sweet, viscous liquid that lands gracefully with a bruleed sugar finish. The reincarnation of richness.
