Bourbon and New Oak Rye Whiskey Barrel-aged Imperial Sweet Stout with Vanilla

Did you know?

Imperial Stout brewed with lactose and vanilla, then aged concurrently in bourbon and first-use rye whiskey barrels.

This label art was created by beloved CCB bartender Lowen Van Trump, who found creative inspiration in the vastness of the universe for this design.

“There are billions of stars in a typical galaxy and the Milky Way is just one of 50-100 billion galaxies in the universe. Thoughts like these are what spark the creativity in my mind and allow me to dream and create the wonders that are out there, or even the ones that could be. So here’s a libation for the entities dwelling within the heavens that ignite that inspiration. Doodle or Die.”
—Lowen Van Trump, CCB Bartender

Tasting Notes

Planets align with both barrels showing their signs: bourbon flashing its classic vanilla and burnt sugar while the new oak rye lends its complex spice. The addition of Indonesian and Madagascar vanilla only makes it more heavenly.
