First Bottle Release @ Tall Oaks 🍾
Hey Good People of Reddit - Today we are releasing our first ever bottle at TO!
Barrel Aged A Field of Darkness is a big, bold 10% dessert Imperial Stout that was aged in freshly emptied Jamaican rum barrels, then conditioned on raspberries, vanilla, and cacao nibs. The result is rich, sweet, flavorful, and perfect as a post-dinner nightcap or a special holiday weekend treat.
This beer was brewed in late 2025 as part of our Anniversary Stout base. While the majority of that base continues to mature in our bourbon-washed foeder for the next birthday celebration, a small portion was filled into Jamaican rum barrels for six months and conditioned on fun adjuncts.
This gave us a bold, old-school Imperial Stout where bright raspberry leads the way. It’s followed by layers of dark chocolate, vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle cherry/banana notes from the rum barrels. Rich, complex and some warming from the rum.
No one said big BA Stouts are only for the winter! See you soon. ✌️ ~Chelsey and Mike
