Kentucky Hugs Stout: 2024 - 14.3%
A bit after brewing Kentucky Hugs Barleywine, we thought of an idea to pair it with a stout. When I got into brewing, I was absolutely captivated by the stouts and barleywines coming out of the beautiful city that is Chicago. For this project, I wanted to create a set that paired together that could introduce people to our barrel program. These beers are meant to be a little bit more restrained, slightly lighter on the palate, more approachable to a novice drinker, but still very much appreciated by our most hardcore fans. This stout is just that. Notes of chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, and American whiskey.
Kentucky Hugs Barleywine: 2024 - 13.7%
19 months ago we conceptualized a barleywine that would complement what has become one of our most sought-after beers, Arabesque. While Arabesque takes barleywine to the extreme utilizing a pretty complex grain bill and going on the high end of the SRM scale for color, we took a more simplistic approach with Kentucky Hugs. This more traditional barleywine is made up of maris otter base malt, with just three different caramel malts on top of it. Aged for 19 months in younger Heaven Hill bourbon casks, this barleywine is focused more on caramel and nuanced barrel character.
