Motherland is dark as a moonless Siberian winter's night but warming enough to weather it. Bittersweet chocolate flavors mingle with deep fig and plum fruitiness, as well as oak and vanilla notes from the barrel-aging process. A gentle heat and spiciness linger long on the palate, leaving you craving more of the sweet warmth of the Motherland. 10.2% ABV. Available in limited 4-packs and on tap.Straight Up Cashmere Chocolate Orange Stout - Inspired by holiday chocolate oranges, this strong stout is velvety smooth from an excessive use of oats, creamy with chocolate, and slightly citrusy from the addition of orange zest. 7.8% ABV. Available only on tap.---DEC 12 - Beer Release Party for Barrel-Aged Morning VibesBarrel-Aged Morning Vibes - A whiskey-soaked version of our Win-Win series beer, Morning Vibes. Originally released in Feb 2018, Morning Vibes is a collaboration with Nossa Familia (a fellow B Corp), using their organic coffee. We added cocoa and lactose to make a rich, silky beer which was then aged for 8 months in variety of bourbon barrels. This Barrel-aged Imperial Stout, will warm your soul like the first sweet sips of a spiked latte. Available only on tap.---DEC 19- Beer Release Party for Yule Only Live Once & That Holiday Cake DoughYule Only Live Once - Imperial Dessert Beer modeled after Panettone Italian Christmas cake.
