Bourbon Barrel-Aged Breakfast Stout with Cinnamon & Vanilla

Our second Luminary Society bottle of 2023 is a decadent, espresso-hued Stout aged for 12 months in Bully Boy Bourbon Barrels. Inspired by some of our favorite morning flavors, this “Breakfast” Stout was initially brewed with lactose, an oat-heavy grist bill, and two coffees: a Colombian light roast with hints of honey and spice, and a chocolatey Mexican dark roast. As it aged in Bourbon Barrels, the project took on warming whiskey notes, mild oakiness, increased alcohol content, and an even creamier mouthfeel. Final aging on cinnamon and maple added a further dimension of flavor to the luscious, subtly sweet beer. Dreamy, comforting, and cozy, this sipper is just as great for weekend brunch as it is a post-dinner treat. Drink fresh or cellar.
