Join us for Stoutsgiving 2023, our annual celebration and beer release of our favorite dark, malty, and strong beer: The Stout.
This year we'll once again have NINE (9) new beers plus one "vintage" beer for you. All beers will be available in draft, and several will be available in bottles or crowlers to go.
Bourbon Barrel Aged Aqueduct Imperial Stout 2023. Erie Canal Aqueducts were designed to carry canal towpaths over adjacent rivers and roads. Aqueduct was aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels just long enough to marry roast and chocolate flavors from the base beer with vanilla and toasted flavors from the bourbon barrels. 10.5% ABV. Draft and 500 mL bottles.
Aqueduct Rare 2023. This Rare version of Aqueduct was aged in a single 15-year 1792 bourbon barrel for a year before bottling by hand. The result provides an even stronger bourbon and oak finish to our rich and roasty stout. 10.5% ABV. Draft and 500 mL bottles.
Aqueduct Double Barrel 2023. This Double Barreled version of our bourbon barrel aged imperial stout was aged first in a Hartman's Distilling bourbon barrel from Buffalo, NY before being transferred to a barrel previously holding maple syrup. We then blended the finished beer with maple syrup. The result provides additional sweetness and complexity to our rich and roasty stout. 10.5% ABV. Draft and 500 mL bottles.
Aqueduct Rum 2023. This version of our imperial stout was aged in a rum barrel to add a caramelized sugar finish to our rich and roasty stout. 10.5% ABV. Draft and 500 mL bottles.
The Tower 2023. Not a stout: still awesome. We brew The Tower to celebrate the coming of the new year. This beer was aged in a Wild Turkey Rye Whiskey barrel as we hoped the subtle rye spice would complement the toffee and honey character of the base beer. 11.4% ABV. Available in draft and 500 mL bottles.
Mudlarked Imperial Stout with Rocky Road. Brewed with 9 different malts, milk sugar, cocoa nibs, and flavored with marshmallow, vanilla, and almonds, this beer is as thick as mud. 10.0% ABV. Draft and crowlers only.
Mudlarked Imperial Stout with Pecan Pie. The same rich Mudlarked stout base with pecans and toffee added. 10.0% ABV. Draft and crowlers only.
Peanut Butter Cookie Stout. A roasty, creamy milk stout brewed with peanut butter and vanilla wafer cookies. 6.0% ABV. Draft and crowlers only.
Mele Kaliki-mocha. Merry Christmas! A "Hawaiian" blonde stout brewed with cocoa, coffee, and coconut. 6.3% ABV. Draft and crowlers only.
Vintage - Aqueduct Port. 2022 Aqueduct aged in a Port wine barrel, lending complex flavors of currant, plum, and toasted oak to the dark chocolate character of the base beer. 10.9% ABV. Draft and crowlers only.
