FEATURED LIBATION: Curly Wolf by BarrelHouse Brewing
BarrelHouse Reservado de Robles (Reserve of the Oak) is a quarterly release series of barrel aged products such as our featured libation this week, the Curly Wolf, which is a Maple, Vanilla, Bourbon-Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout. ABV: 10.4%; IBUs: 58. Brewmaster Mathew Jacobs said he didn’t think there was a cigar that could match up well against the big, burly flavors of Curly Wolf… Doc puts up the Chapter One as the contender.
