The mystery of great beer challenges the spirit of adventure in all who seek a higher level to this ancient brew. Dark Hollow blends the miracle of two crafts – brewing and distillation – to create a work greater than the sum of its parts. Our once-a-year Reserve edition of this hallowed imperial stout has been aged in barrels from Buffalo Trace Distillery for a full year, changing and mellowing with the roll of the seasons. Enjoy the best of 2019: Dark Hollow brewed with double the roast barley, double the chocolate malt and double the oats, and then concealed in the darkness at the back of the barrel room, waiting to emerge on

December 7th.

This year, in addition to bringing back two "greatest hits" variants from years past, we have also created 2019's own special variant:

Irish Coffee Stout.

This special stout spent a year in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels atop Demerara sugar, Muscavado sugar, local Nelson County Trager Brothers Espresso beans, Madagascar Vanilla beans, Korninjte Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Ice Cream flavoring. This wild blend of sugar, spices, coffee and flavoring create a stout beer version of the famed after-dinner drink.

Variant #2 for 2019 is the return of Loire Stout, a very special beer wrapped in the
mystique of France and inspired by a 17th century liqueur consumed by nobles from the House of Bourbon.
To create such decadence this royal liquid was double aged, first in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels and then in Cognac barrels, upon a throne of fresh red raspberries, blackberries, honey and Madagascan

vanilla beans. Enjoy this limited-edition take on the best of 2019.

Variant #3 is the return of Snow Day Stout - a beer inspired by those frigid, snowy winter days of youth spent sledding, and by the final comfort a warm mug of hot cocoa bestows upon the soul. To create that sense of nostalgia for the discerning palate, the contents of this bottle were aged for 1 year in Buffalo Trace  bourbon barrels with the addition of Korintje cinnamon, ancho chile, cardamom, Ghanaian cocao nibs, and Madagascan vanilla beans. Enjoy this limited edition take on the best of 2019.
