STOUTSGIVING 2022!

Join us on Wednesday, November 23 for Stoutsgiving, our annual celebration and beer release of our favorite dark, malty, and strong beer: The Stout.

This year we'll have NINE (9) new beers for you. All beers will be available in draft, and most will be available in bottles or cans to go.

This year’s lineup:

Bourbon Barrel Aged Aqueduct Imperial Stout 2022.  Erie Canal Aqueducts were designed to carry canal towpaths over adjacent rivers and roads. This updated version of our imperial stout features more sweetness, body, and complexity than our original Towpath imperial stout. 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. 10.9% ABV.  Draft and 500 mL bottles.

Aqueduct Rare 2022. This Rare version of Aqueduct was aged in a single Knob Creek barrel for a year before bottling by hand. The result provides an even smoother bourbon and oak finish to this stout. 10.9% ABV. Draft and 500 mL bottles.

Aqueduct Double Barrel 2022. This Double Barreled version of Aqueduct was aged first in a Hartman’s Distilling rye bourbon barrel from Buffalo, NY before being transferred to a barrel previously holding cherry brandy. The result adds a luxurious chocolate-covered cherry finish to this stout. 10.9% ABV.  Draft and 500 mL bottles.

Aqueduct Café 2022. This flavored version of Aqueduct was first aged in Willett bourbon barrels before conditioning on hazelnuts and coffee from Public Espresso in Buffalo, NY. The result adds additional nutty and roasty flavors as well as a light, sweet finish to this stout.10.9% ABV.  Draft and 500 mL bottles.

Aqueduct Port 2022. This version of Aqueduct was 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. Available in draft and 500 mL bottles.

Mudlarked Imperial Stout with Tiramisu. Brewed with 9 different malts, milk sugar, cocoa nibs, and flavored with tiramisu, this beer is as thick as mud.10.0% ABV. Draft and 4-packs of 16oz cans.

Mudlarked Imperial Stout with Chocolate Toffee. The same rich Mudlarked stout base with chocolate and toffee added. 10.0% ABV. Draft and 4-packs of 16oz cans.

Maple Bacon Make Me Wanna Stout. Our coffee and cream stout made extra breakfast-y by aging on fresh crispy bacon and maple syrup. Very limited. 5.2% ABV.  Draft only.

Rum Barrel Aged Cinnamon Apple. Our fall seasonal amber ale brewed with caramel malt, brown sugar, and oatmeal, with extra apple cider, cinnamon sticks and golden raisins added before aging in a Cruzan rum barrel for 12 months. 7.5% ABV.  Draft only. 

Packaged selections will be available for preorder on the morning of Wednesday 11/23 at: https://big-ditch-brewing-company.square.site
