That's right folks. Get ready for our chocolate bomb Sleepy Bear. We sourced cacao nibs from all over the world and freshly roasted them to go into this heater of a pitch. The base is a blend of 21 month aged Sleepy Bear held in Buffalo Trace Mash #1 and Mash #2 barrels. Don't hibernate on this one, it's incredible.

Barrel Aged 4 year Cuvée Sleepy Bear
Vintage Blend of Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Hang on to your seats! We carefully selected an incredible blend of 4, 3, 2 and 1 year aged Sleepy Bears for this special cuvée. We blended Sleepy Bear aged for 4 years in a Heaven Hill bourbon barrel, 3 years in a Stagg Jr bourbon barrel, 2 years in a Sazarac rye whisky barrel and 1 year in a Willett bourbon barrel. The end result has unbelievable notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, toasted oak and vanillin. A truly special one of a kind Sleepy Bear.
