2022 Concealed Darkness Release Party & Pig Roast

TICKETS GO ON SALE OCTOBER 14 at ConcealedDarkness2022.eventbrite.com.

2022 CONCEALED DARKNESS: DARK HOLLOW RESERVE

THE MYSTERY OF GREAT BEER challenges the spirit of adventure in all who seek a higher level to this ancient brew. Dark Hollow blends the miracle of two crafts—brewing and distillation—to create a work greater than the sum of its parts.

Our once-a-year Reserve edition of this hallowed imperial stout has been aged in barrels from Buffalo Trace Distillery for a full year, changing and mellowing with the roll of the seasons.

Enjoy the best of 2022: Dark Hollow brewed with double the roast barley, double the chocolate malt, and double the oats, and then concealed in the darkness at the back of the barrel room, waiting to emerge on December 3rd.

2022 CONCEALED DARKNESS AND BOTH VARIANTS WILL BE ON TAP ALL DAY INSIDE THE BARREL HOUSE TASTING ROOM (and bottles will be for sale while supplies last!)

We will also be featuring the release of TWO new exciting variants:

2022 VARIANT #1: LAVENDER BLUEBERRY

Variant #1 was aged solely in Wild Turkey bourbon barrels with the addition of blueberry purée and natural lavender flavor. The unique and juicy-sweet blueberry is taken down an unexpected path of flavors as it blends with the hints of rosemary and mint that lavender lends. These wonderfully experimental flavors are brought back home with the characteristic deep malt, oak and natural vanilla flavors from our beloved Reserve version of Dark Hollow and the barrel.

2021 VARIANT #2: TIRAMISU

Variant #2 was aged solely in Wild Turkey bourbon barrels and dosed with natural espresso, cream, light cocoa, and rum flavoring throughout its year-long slumber at the back of our barrel-aging cellar. The layered coffee-dessert flavors of Tiramisu are a masterpiece of their own, but opening up these flavor notes to the substantial depth and strength of our barrel-aged reserve Imperial Stout brings something unexpected and delightful to the simple dessert-beer experience.
