About This Beer

This swashbuckling blend comprises:

35% Imperial Stout aged in St George whiskey barrels for 8 Months and Wright and Brown Rye barrels for 6 months

42% Barleywine aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels 12 months

23% Quad aged in American rum barrels for 6 Months and Woodford Rye barrels for 6 Months

Tasting Notes

Expect candied plum, dark cherry, and caramel notes to set sail across an ocean of mocha undertones. And all that time in casks should imbue this decadent sipper with stunning barrel character, imbuing the finish with notes of oaky vanilla, burnt sugar, and warming whiskey. All while keeping this 16.3% ABV smooth as the calmest seas.

Huge coffee aroma w/bourbon & dark fruit. Coffee up front, then caramel, chocolate, molasses, oak, & vanilla. A touch sweet until big bourbon character pops on finish.

Loads of bourbon, dark fruits, vanilla and perfect coffee notes. Stunning barrel character finish with notes of oaky vanilla and burnt sugar. Beautiful cold weather beer.

Tremendous amount of flavor from the combination of stout/bw/quad ale and whiskey/rum BA! Really well done.
