Bourbon Barrel-Aged Mexican Brunch (2023)

Barrel-Aged Mexican Brunch is our 12.7% Imperial Milk Porter brewed with maple syrup and lactose, aged in bourbon barrels then conditioned on cinnamon, coffee, cacao nibs, ancho chilies and lactose. This year's release came from a blend of Imperial Milk Porters aged in Old Fitzgerald, Heaven Hill and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon barrels. The blend was aged for an average of 16 months before conditioning and release. Barrel-Aged Mexican Brunch pours black with a mocha head, with aromatics of chocolate and coffee upfront supported by notes of vanilla cream and caramel from the extended barrel aging. Cinnamon, maple and chilies all play supporting roles to round out this fantastic Mexican Chocolate-inspired beer.
