We flew through the sky of possibility in an aura of stealth, shrouded by our MIDNIGHT COVERTS. Along the way, we spotted an avian partner in crime in Horus Aged Ales, the originator of the ornithological opus. Imbued with flight anew, we dove from the aeries of ideas with one principle; create a barrel-aged endeavor worthy of two friends in formation. Grounded by a historic collection of aged liquids, a blend of 3 barrels were chosen; an Imperial Stout aged for 35 months in Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey Barrels; a Barley Wine aged for 31 months in Elijah Craig 8yr Bourbon Barrels; and a Maple Wine Aged for 24 months in Russell’s Reserve 10yr Bourbon Barrels. The beautiful blend, inspired by birds of a feather, yielded a 14.5% hybrid style worthy of the most winning wyverns. Pouring a cola brown hue with a hint of tan foam and alcohol legs, the first flutters of fine barrel character ascend from the surface, skittering the rich waters of milk chocolate and brandy soaked figs, finally landing upon deep oak barrel notes and precise plumes of port. The initial fill of our bills reveal deep treacle with dark fruit and dates before migrating to the back palate where plumes of plush continue to preen before black walnut bitters prune the last lifts of maple. This may be one of our finest flights thus far; will you join the flock?
