Description
Volume 1: 14% Blanton Black Wax
This mash bill had more roasted grains and old school stout qualities
similar to Sunkiller when we made it. 38 plato starting gravity and
finished at tad above 15 plato and 14%
Chocolate and some mild char make this have a unique feel that drinks
pleasantly easy with a mild cherry and nut finish. Aged for 20 months
Volume 2: 14% Willett Rye and Ruby Port Red Wax
This mash bill has more chocolate malt and we included a small amount
of lactose to increase the body and sweetness. We also use a small
amount of dark sugar to round out the beer before aging this for 2yrs and
conditioning on Ugandan coco nibs. It has a nice blend of sweet,
chocolate custard, pie crust, and warming heat finish. Starting gravity
was 40 plato and finished around 14 plato for 14% abv.
Volume 3: 14.5%Dickel 18yr/ Elijah Craig Toasted Gold Wax
This was our onyx mash bill that is heavy base malt with lower
percentages of caramel malts and no lactose. We use brewers
crystals and dark malts to round this out and wanted the barrel
to do the work on this. We originally use this base for our
adjunct stouts and ferment a little lower so we can add
sweetness back to it but it was really nice by itself. The toasted
barrel gives this beer a nice complexity we feel it would lose if
added with adjuncts. This is the lowest finishing gravity but the
highest abv beer we did, so its naturally a little drier. Starting
gravity was 37 plato and finishing gravity was 13 plato for
14.5% abv. Taste of dark fruit, smoked plums, chocolate
covered cherries.
Glimpse: 13% Blue Wax Buffalo Trace-Catoctin Creek Rye-
Ruby Port aged for 26,22,and 18 months 13% Double Imperial
Mild Stout with Toasted Coconut, Ghana coco nibs, and second
use vanilla husk from Prolyferous. Velvety smooth, viscous and
balanced. Very happy with this blend
Prolyferous- 13% White Wax Old Forrester 1910 and
Woodford Reserve aged with Ecuadorian Tahitian vanilla,
Comoros Vanilla, and Madagascar vanilla with Ecuadorian
Coco nibs
This beer has zero lactose and was made to be more drinkable.
Medium body with a rich chocolate backbone that finishes with
vanilla. We used 1.5 lbs per barrel of vanilla on this beer and let
it lager for 2 weeks prior to bottling. We did not expect the
amount of fudge in this beer with the nibs and vanilla working
together. For best drinking results, let this beer warm to room
temperature, but drink colder to see the changes in the beer.
