Holiday BA Stouts are back--The Nemesis gets his Winter Wish with this massive barrel-aged stout, aged in Japanese whiskey barrels for north of 35 months and infused with all kinds of xmas-y goodies.  offers a complex and vibrant aroma reminiscent of craft cola, layered with a gentle fruitiness from the cranberries.
Sensory:  We're getting complex layers of fruit and a kind of craft cola vibe, along with some of the usual suspects--chocolate, molasses and brown sugar, accompanied by hints of red berries. The sweet nuance of star anise and the matured character imparted by the whiskey barrels helps the spices pop, and ginger is the hit of warmth to tie it all together.
This elixir is super rich, lavishly layered, and perfect for sipping slowly during the winter season.

This beer contains a small amount of active yeast and should be opened under chilled (<5 degrees C) conditions. We also recommend turning the bottle upside down 10 times to ensure a proper mixture as fruit and other ingredients may settle during storage. Pull the tape embedded in the wax at the top of the bottle to remove the wax completely. Once removed, open the cap using a bottle opener / other instrument. If pulling on the tape doesn’t remove the wax properly, you can use a sharp instrument to cut the wax below the cap. Be very careful when removing the wax and cap.
