Double Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our first A Night to End All Dawns release in 2013 we are releasing this special, limited edition bottle. A Night To End All Dawns is our massive bourbon barrel-aged Imperial Stout. It was one of the first beers we brewed in 2011 when we opened and it has been a special part of our history. Over the years A Night To End All Dawns has received numerous national and international awards and has become a recognized part of our brewery. To select this very special release, the team went deep into the barrel cellar to select a blend that represents the past, present and future of this beer. 10th Anniversary A Night To End All Dawns is a Double Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout. After sampling various barrels, we selected a highly regarded heavily wheated Imperial Stout that was aged in a Buffalo Trace Weller 12-year bourbon barrel for 15 months. That single barrel was then racked into a Heaven Hill Old Fitzgerald 19-year bourbon barrel for 10 months to finish. This single barrel resulted in 100 bottles of this very special 10th Anniversary A Night To End All Dawns.
