Persona - TM + Saison du Blé Blend #15

Persona - TM

Rum and Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout w/ Maple Syrup, Vanilla Beans, Truffles and Cocoa Nibs

The last 14 years of brewing BA and non BA malty beers has definitely given me plenty of time to experience the vast spectrum of flavor possibilities. The opportunity to work with such a talented brewing team has been enlightening and rewarding, but does not come without its challenges.

At some point, you start to find flavors that sing to your heart. I can say with all honesty, that having a deep barrel program that lets beer shine differently depending on barrel type and time is truly an invaluable resource. 

I’ve always loved blending different barrel types together, which can lend to a more layered complexity in the glass and adds a unique profile that is seldom replicable in our industry. I feel like you can  have enough variation in barrel stock, which allows us to have these unique possibilities.

For my Persona, I blended an imperial stout aged 26 months in both rum and bourbon barrels, before thoughtful amounts of maple, Tanzanian vanilla, black truffles, and cocoa nibs were infused. The result is bold and intense with barrel profiles mingling between each sip.

I seriously appreciate your curiosity year after year for these beers we strive hard to produce. It means the world to us, more than you’ll ever know.

Cheers,
Tommy

Saison du Blé Blend #15

Oak Aged Missouri Wheat Saison
Saison du Blé is the harmony of a fluffy Wheat Saison and a tart, Missouri Saison. The wheat balances a very dry body with a creamy, billowy mouthfeel, and our local microflora adds complexity and acidity. This Saison was aged in oak for several months before being naturally conditioned in this bottle.
ABV:  6%  |  750ml
