This is the bourbon barrel aged version of Everett (1908- 1939), our grandfather's brother, as well as the name of our American porter. In his honor, we aged this ale in select bourbon barrels for 20-plus months. The beer rested contentedly, absorbing and harmonizing with all that the oak had to offer, taking on the complex characters of the spirit and reflecting that which we remember best of our great uncle.

Dark brown colour. Nice aroma, chocolate, with soy sauce notes, some alcohol. Thick, bold, with dark chocolate, umami, molasses, burnt sugar, old wood. Not the depth of the best, but it has the usual great balance of Hill Farmstead.

500ml (thx, Eric D.!) @ Alex's shared with Ryan. Bottled on Nov-07, 2018. Appearance: very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: bourbon barrel with some burnt notes, some fruity notes. Taste: nice body, moderate to high sweetness, some molasses, pleasant bourbon barrel with some burnt notes that are just on the edge of my tolerance to this character. Overall: another nicely balanced beer from HF.
