Seven malts were used to create deep flavors of coffee, chocolate, caramel, and molasses. A hint of bitterness and herbal character from carefully selected European and American hops help support the monolithic maltiness. After conditioning in stainless steel, the beer was transfered into apple brandy barrels for 8 to 12 months. A truly decadent brew that is intended to be poured into your favorite snifter and given time to warm up from its dark and cool resting place.
