Blended Barrel-Aged Ale
Madness & Civilization is a panorama of our barrel aging program—oak-aged beers that emerge from their individual silences to find structure and voice as a unified composition. This is the result of an unpredictable state of permanent happenstance—a dialogue with our evolving approach to blending that challenges convention and circumstance. Each release will include multiple threads and is likely to approximate the style of an imperial stout.
Release #8 is a blend of whiskey and bourbon barrels ranging from 20 to 24 months. Components include Aaron, Double George, Genealogy of Morals, and Everett.

Tap @RB Best. Pours inky black, small beige head that dissipates pretty quickly leaving some lacing. Aroma is bourbon, molasses, chocolate, hints of date. Flavor is light plus bitter, medium sweet. Medium body, creamy soft mouthfeel. Solid Beer.

At RBBest. Pours black. Aroma is sweet chocolate and coffee, little liquorice. Heavy body, first super sweet, then bitter on the palate. Bourbon barrel is there, but very balanced and not overwhelming. Great experience.
