DRAFT VARIANTS
Our Barrel team builds these special draft-only release variants to pour exclusively at our Deep Wood Series releases. They’re only available at our Taproom, so please join us on November 18th to try:
Double Barrel V.S.O.D.M. — Single Barrel - (contains lactose)
Unblended sweet component Dark Mode Imperial Milk Stout aged two years, spending a year each in Wild Turkey Russel’s Reserve and Basil Hayden Toasted Oak Bourbon barrels. Sweet, boozy, and with equal measures of rich, chocolatey, maplely maltiness, and oak-derived vanilla and coconut.
D.B.V.S.O.R. Lux Eighteener — Single Barrel
This extra-sweet component of Ryeway to Heaven spent eighteen months in a Jim Beam Distiller’s Masterpiece French oak PX Sherry cask before finishing in a Knob Creek 18 Year Bourbon barrel for a final six months. The confluence of copious malt sugar and extended aging delivers the now-familiar maple punch we so love in our Ryewine, with a bold, balancing punch of booze and lumber.
D.B.V.S.O.R. PX Apple Brandy — Single Barrel
This extra-sweet component of Ryeway to Heaven spent eighteen months in a Jim Beam Distiller’s Masterpiece French oak PX Sherry cask before finishing in a Laird’s Apple Brandy barrel for a final six months. Unabashedly malty-sweet with pronounced notes of maple, vanilla, baking spice, and apple, you’d think we put a whole bunch of grandma’s pie in the mash. We didn’t.
2019 Boss Jacket (14% ABV) — ½ barrel
Aged in French oak WhistlePig The Boss Hog V, The Spirit of Mauve ex-Calvados Rye Whiskey barrels, this special edition of our award-winning BA English Barleywine was brewed to retain a little extra sweetness, allowing the additional malt sugars to compile layers of stupefying complexity over time. Enjoy now or store cold.

Straight Jacket
Barrel-aged Barleywine
The soul of Barleywine channeled through vivifying bourbon barrels and blended with an alchemist's touch. Summon notes of caramel, stone fruit, brown sugar, and vanilla with each generous swirl.
Alc. by vol. – 15%

Ryeway to Heaven
Barrel-aged Ryewine
Singular in heft and layered with symphonic grace. Lofty notes of maple, brown sugar, and candied pecan suggest sweetness before a dry, rye-forward terminus.
Alc. by vol. – 15%

V.S.O. Dark Mode (2022)
Imperial Milk Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Additional time and premium casks work twin wonders on this reserve batch of Imperial Milk Stout. An obsidian pour, resting on a foundation of debittered black malt and velvety golden oats, submits mindfully restrained sweetness and a glowing ember of caliginous intricacy. **contains lactose**
Alc. by vol. – 14.4%
