II Am the Liquor / Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout

I Am The Liquor is most likely going to be the biggest beer that we make. The name is a Trailer Park Boys reference. I Am The Liquor is the famous line that Jim Lahey says. Certainly worth watching the YouTube video. The mash tun is filled to the brim with grain and we boil the wort for twice as long as most of the beers that we make. The flavors are big in this beer. Strong notes of chocolate, roasty-burnt grain, dark fruit, vanilla, and slight alcohol on the nose. The finish is mildly sweet with some bitterness to balance out the variety of flavors. As the beer warms up in your hands you will find some flavors stand out more than others. We also age this beer using barrels from Finger Lakes Distilling. Definitely a sipper!
