Bourbon Barrel Dark Apparition (2025)

Seven malts were used to create deep flavors of coffee, chocolate, caramel, and molasses. A hint of bitterness and herbal character from carefully selected European and American hops help support the monolithic maltiness. After conditioning in stainless steel, the beer was transferred to into bourbon barrels. Dark Apparition waited patiently in oak barrels until the time was right to spring forth with its ghostly gusto. This year’s vintage of Bourbon Barrel Dark Apparition was aged in select Wild Turkey, Knob Creek, and Heaven Hill barrels ranging from 13 to 35 months blending young barrels with old to showcase layers of flavor and complexity.
