Half Acre — Triple Catch Hell (2024)

Triple Barrel Aged Imperial Stout With Madagascar Vanilla & Saigon Cinnamon 17.9% ABV.

Burying yourself in the process of making anything, you get little reveals along the way, accelerations that nudge you ahead. It’s just the work and time earning the understanding, slowly bigger.

In the brewery, the team is impressively stoic. When people start asking me if I’ve had something, it’s a sign that we have traction. The people that live these beers every day – Ryan, Joe, Duncan, Jose – all gave me the eyes asking me if I’d had this beer. First, it broke a Half Acre record: 17.9% ABV. We don’t explicitly aim for ethanol, but tucked in tight beneath a wall of flavor, that’s paydirt. Next, it’s BIG. You can add all the inputs and land small. You can throw everything at it, and not expand the metric impact your brain categorizes with each and every detail. With this, the arithmetic is splayed out in a monstrous result. Just nasty big. Chowder of this sort is not for all campers, but if you’ve been tooling around the scene for a while and know your way around these parts, Triple Barrel Catch Hell is summit stout.

This beer began in our brewery in May of 2021.

It saw three rounds of spirit-soaked barrels across a slew of makers: Knob Creek, Jim Beam, Stagg Jr, Blanton’s, Heaven Hill, George Dickel, 18yr Elijah Craig, 10yr Russell Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey, and Willett Family Reserve Rye with fill dates of June 2021, August 2022 and finally July 2023.

Pouring hard into an oversized glass, encouraging a thick foam head, this bucket tar suffocates CO2 and light in some wicked way. It's easy to catch a glance of the aroma the second you crack the can. Burrowing down in the glass, you’re slammed with the foundation of BA stout recipes. Oak, stout, char whiskey, complex malts, burnt sugar, and heft. Drink it down and you’re tilted into the details that make Catch Hell a legion offering from our brewery. Cinnamon, dark cherry, nougat, birthday cake, reserve spirt, and hard-to-place neural collisions. With this one, you have to give your friends the eyes.
