About This Beer
To craft it, the multiple GABF medal-winning brewers at Hardywood Park started with their ginger, cinnamon, vanilla bean, honey, and lactose-laced Gingerbread Imperial Stout. Then they took the beer to the next level by aging it in Kentucky Bourbon barrels and adding roasty coffee.

I look forward to this one all year. Such an incredible example of balancing flavors. It’s not too sweet and not too stiff. It’s just an awesome blend that warms you up.
