CONCEALED DARKNESS RELEASE PARTY & PIG ROAST

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 2021: 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 4th.

2021 CONCEALED DARKNESS 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:

2021 VARIANT #1: CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY
Variant #1 was aged solely in bourbon barrels from the Buffalo Trace Distillery, with the addition of cacao nibs and strawberry purée. The natural pairing of raw chocolate and ripe and vibrant strawberry flavors plays with the deep malt, oak and natural vanilla flavors from the beer and the barrel.

2021 VARIANT #2: PISTACHIO CREAM
Variant #2 was aged solely in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, and dosed with natural pistachio flavoring and cream flavoring throughout its year-long slumber at the back of our barrel-aging cellar. Pistachio and cream are a beautiful pairing on their own, but opening up these flavor notes to the substantial depth and strength of our reserve Imperial Stout brings something unexpected and delightful to the simple dessert-beer experience.
