Double Barrel Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Star

BARREL AGED IMPERIAL OATMEAL STOUT

This double-barrel aged release of Bourbon Barrel-Aged Dark Star rests for one year in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels and then ages for another year in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels. The roasted and chocolate malts complement the smooth oats to bring you a stout delight double-wrapped in the gentle embrace of bourbon barrel-aged warmth. A touch of sweetness dances in balance with the hops to finish with a wave, and then she’s gone.
