Round two:
Allagash Brewing Company Interlude 750ML
*Belgian-style Ale fermented with a Belgian farmhouse yeast and their house Brettanomyces. A portion is aged in French Merlot and Sirah oak barrels, which impart a distinctive vinous plum character and a drying, almost tannic finish, 9.5% ABV*
Boulevard Brewing Company Smokestack Imperial Stout 750ML
*An over-the-top riff on the style, with a huge grain bill featuring several kinds of malted barley, wheat, rye, oats, and spelt. Robust grain and coffee flavors are counterbalanced by date and plum notes from the Belgian yeast. 60% fresh/40% Whiskey barrel-aged, 11.8% ABV*
