Midnight Cuvée Blend II
Midnight Cuvee Blend II is a solera method dark beer concoction of the highest order. This year we again blended five beers from five different barrels, an Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels, an Imperial Schwarzbier aged in port barrels, a black Doppelbock aged in malbec barrels, a Russian Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels, and a small amount of vintage Imperial Stout in bourbon barrels from way back in 2015. As a sixth component of this blend, we worked in a portion of last year’s Midnight Cuvee Blend I, a five beer five barrel mashup from our 2023 Chronicles program. Lastly, we blended in a splash of fresh Milk Stout and conditioned the entire concoction on toasted cocoa nibs before bottle conditioning.
