About This Beer

Brewed to celebrate their 9th anniversary, the Cycle crew started with a rich, double-digit ABV Stout boasting chocolatey nuances and plenty of body. Then they aged it for two years in Old Forester Birthday Bourbon (2020) Barrels!

Leave it to the oak-aging experts at Cycle to get their hands on these exceptional barrels. Bottles of Birthday Bourbon regularly sell for over $1000, so getting the celebrated caramel and oak flavors of this beloved whiskey into a Stout is a big deal!

Tasting Notes

Rich chocolate malts create a flood of fudgy flavor with roasty mocha nuances. Decadent whiskey caramel wafts underneath with creamy vanilla nuances — exactly the sort of brew that made Cycle famous.

Great bourbon notes pervade the brew. Chocolate malts are a nice undertone.

Tasty but not as tasty as other Cycles. Just a touch too sweet overall for me. Aging this one a few years would probably get it to a better place.
