The Eighth State - Cypher

Barrel Aged and Fermented Imperial Stout Aged 2 Years and One Month in a Buffalo Trace Lot D Barrel. Yes you read correct we chose one select barrel from our barrel library. This barrel unlike other barrels really stood out during a panel tasting. What I mean by this is, the flavors aromatics and everything about this beer represent what we would like to accomplish with our barrel program (when possible) here at Eighth State. Finding a barrel that sticks out so perfectly is less common than one might think, but truly is worth it when you find it. This barrel specifically eludes to rich notes of Toffee and Caramel, touched by a smoothed mellow heat. As one continues to drink, expressive notes of Baker's Chocolate, Madagascar Vanilla, Caramel drizzle, and touches of savory toasted coconut melt together in unison to create one of our favorite beers to date. Please serve at least 54 Degrees, but closer to room temperature to truly experience this Stout in the proper manner. 230 Bottle Produced
