A Note on This Beer

I’ll cut to the chase. 

Hardywood Park’s OG Gingerbread Stout is easily one of the most sought-after holiday beers in the country. Food & Wine even says “the first taste of this unique beer was a revelatory experience!” 

And today, you get to taste the whiskey-dunked version of that very cookie brew — Bourbon Barrel-Aged GBS! It sits among the Top 20 Milk Stouts in the WORLD on BeerAdvocate!

To craft this legendary treat, the 4x GABF medal-winning brewers took their ginger, wildflower honey, cinnamon, vanilla bean, and lactose-laced Gingerbread Imperial Stout, and aged it in locally-sourced bourbon barrels.

The result is beyond delicious. With each decadently thick taste, you’ll experience how the barrel-aging masters delicately conjure flavors of woody molasses, dark chocolate, and fresh-baked gingerbread. Breathe in aromas of oaky vanilla, sweet honey, and creamy coconut as you indulge in another silky-smooth sip. 

It's entirely up to you to bring this delicacy home — or to blow away your most high-brow craft buddy at the annual bottle share! Only question is: will you call dibs on your bottles before your fellow Stout sippers do?

Bourbon dominates at first, but then the gingerbread creeps in, with notes of sugar cookie and cinnamon. Boozy bourbon comes back on in the finish, leaving a sweet, petty flavor in it's boozy wake.

doesn't even register as old-school cool. drinks like a half hearted attempt at another pumpkin style ale

Gingerbread really comes through. A bit heavy on the bourbon but still very good

very nice and smooth, love the spice and bourbon barrel aging, makes it almost like a nice pastry stout but not as sweet, which I enjoyed

I worried this would be too forward, but the gingerbread shines without pounding the palate with spices. Smooth, easy drinker. Good on a winter night

Definitely ginger and molasses flavors at the beginning. Reminiscent of holiday cookies. Stout base and bourbon are subtle.

Pleasant sipping stout, with gentle notes of both chocolate and ginger spices. The ABV and barrel-aging are neither off putting nor overwhelming, although I wish that the overall flavor profiles were just a little more pronounced .
