Inspired by the gift of empty whiskey barrels used in the first run of Tennessee Rye Whiskey by our friends at Pennington Distilling Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, we set out to craft a beer that would complement this stories batch. The result is a Belgian-style dark ale aged six months in barrel with native flora. A garnet-hued quadrupel with aromas of molasses, leather, cocoa, tobacco and port accompanied by hints of toffee, oak, tart dried fruit, and spice on the palate. With bright effervescence, it is spritely on the palate with gentle acidity and a soft, spicy, drying finish.
