- Tasting Notes
- Won 1st Place at the 2017 Brixtoberfest Competition.
A group brew with three other brewers. Hugh, Patty and I brewed up 10 gallons together, Brandon added another 5 and we filled a 15 gallon bourbon barrel from Oppidan, a distillary in the Chicago suburbs. It was a one use bourbon barrel and this was the first beer in the barrel. We aged it in the barrel for 6 months. We added a little yeast and bottle conditioned the beer.
The following is the recipe we used for Hugh, Patty's and my 10 gallon batch. We went with partial grain with extract to combat the low efficiency we get when brewing huge beers like this. http://singingboysbrewing.homestead.com/Bourbon-Barrel-Aged-Imperial-Stout.html
