Midnight Cuvée Blend III

The third iteration of our annual solera method dark blend, created from four unique threads including an Imperial Stout in bourbon barrels, an Imperial Stout in Cabernet Franc barrels, a multigrain old world Stout aged in bourbon barrels, and a 2017 vintage blend of Imperial Stout and Barleywine. As always, this vintage also includes portions of Blend I and Blend II from the previous two releases. Expect a much more Stout-centric beer with more body, roasted intensity, and oak weight than in years past, loaded with subtle grain complexity, unctuous red wine fruitiness, and traces of wet tobacco leaf, vanilla bean, and binchotan charcoal.
