(Barrel-aged Imperial Stout, 16%, 750ml) Aged five years in select bourbon barrels. Originally brewed in February of 2019 and barreled in March of the same year, Quintet is a pure expression of the eldest barrels in our ecosystem. A lot has changed since 2019; the world has undergone a rapid and ongoing transformation. Bridging the gap between then and now in a beer is a bit of magic, and beautifully encapsulates the power of our craft.
Like age in us humans, the beer emerges with a few tired edges, but for every dusty note there is a complex chocolate character presented that would otherwise be impossible in a much younger beer. In addition, hints of chocolate wafer cookies, bourbon-soaked candy, and dark chocolate fudge lend texture and heft to this most sage offering.
Similar to bourbon, excessive time in barrels can often have diminishing returns. Age is not linear with quality. But Quintet expresses remarkable resilience and is a beautiful example of what is possible with extreme patience and studied barrel-picking in the art and craft of barrel-aged beer. We hope you enjoy it and appreciate the history contained within each sip.
