Beer Profile

Forged Theory

Forged Theory is a massive Imperial Stout defined by 32 months of extensive aging in Willett bourbon barrels. Pouring deep black with viscous density, this 15.16% ABV stout offers a complex aroma profile of rich vanilla, dark chocolate, and dried fruit layered over significant bourbon heat. The extended barrel time imparts deep notes of oak and caramelized sugar, balancing the beer's intense roast character. The mouthfeel is full, coating, and warming, culminating in a lingering finish that showcases the integration of malt sweetness and potent whiskey character.
