Laval

Rich, full-bodied silkiness

Double Cream Stout aged in bourbon and brandy barrels. Gustav de Laval perfected the first hand cranked centrifugal milk-cream separator and we believe he would be inspired by this beer’s color, rich, full-bodied silkiness and creamy tan head. Aromas of both bourbon and brandy, flavors of chocolate, caramel and sweet cherries are prominent.

Aged to Perfection

Our Spirit Aged Program

The process of creating barrel-aged beers is equal parts craftsmanship and science, an art that is both immensely time-consuming and intensely rewarding for us as brewers. We purchased our first barrel in 2010, a bourbon barrel, and it turned 53 gallons of Chocolate Porter into our first ever batch of Barrel Roll #1 – Immelmann. Spirits Barrel Aged beers are finished beers before they go into the barrel, and the goal is to extend and develop this finished beer through time in a spirits barrel, with the final result being an incredibly decadent, sweet, high-abv beer fit for a special occasion.

Word on the Street

"Pours an absolutely black hole black. Smell is of intense milk chocolate, sweet coffee, along with great aromas of bourbon and brandy. Taste reflects the smell beautifully. Initial taste of bourbon along milk chocolate sweetness along with brandy sweetness, with a slight fruit sweetness as well. Feel is thick, luscious (we added a fair amount of lactose to this), with just enough carbonation. Overall, this is a great barrel aged imperial milk stout."

"Another killer brew to come out of the "barrel roll" series. This release was very low-key. I remember seeing something on social media the day it came out and they still had bottles a week later when I was able to get there. This beer is a bit hot right now but the flavors were amazing. Dark chocolate, cherries, and bourbon brownie is the best I could describe it."

"Black beer with a thick light brown head leaving some lacing. The aroma is full of chocolate. It leans toward the milk chocolate end of the spectrum but it’s a nice full flavor with darker notes, as well. Big caramel base underneath, though it doesn’t overshadow the chocolate. The barrel is well integrated and adds a pleasant and fairly strong vanilla note. Light fruitiness. Some sweet cherry and very mild grape. A little bit of cola. Very little booziness. Just a hint of oak. The taste is rich and very creamy."
